Azido- and Triazolyl-modified Nucleoside/tide Analogues: Chemistry, Fluorescent Properties, and Anticancer Activities

Abstract

Writing this dissertation gave me not only a chance to summarize my motivating anticancer research but also a good time to reflect on the help and support I have got from people around me during pursuing my Ph.D. at FIU in this five years. I would first like to thank my mentor Dr. Stanislaw Wnuk for his outstanding supervision, support, friendship, and trust in me. I feel proud and lucky to get opportunity to be involved in the research on bioorganic chemistry of nucleoside/tides with applications in anticancer medicine, which I have my passion and enthusiasm for. I do appreciate everything, related to not only my research but also my personal life and future career development, he has done for me. Words cannot describe how thankful I am.
