Adrian Huang

Instructor in Chemistry Laboratory

Research areas: organic, medicinal, catalyst, and material chemistries.


Dr. Huang is an organic synthetic chemist. Using organic chemistry knowledge, the Huang Lab solves problems in various areas, such as methodology development, green chemistry, and drug discovery. The Huang Lab is currently studying the attractive interactions. The attractive interactions play important roles in chemical and biological processes, such as asymmetric selectivity and drug-receptor affinity.

Prior to Wellesley, Dr. Huang worked as a medicinal chemist at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and as a polymer researcher at DuPont R&D. Dr. Huang gained extensive experience in drug discovery, and three of her projects entered clinical trials. The industrial experience helps her to inspire the students to dream more, learn more, and become more.

Dr. Huang teaches Organic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry II, and Introductory Chemistry Laboratories. She also teaches Drug Discovery.
