Dr. Butler’s academic and research interests involve chemical education, synthetic organic chemistry, peptide chemistry, natural products chemistry, medicinal/pharmaceutical chemistry, and chemical outreach. During his time at UT Tyler, he has mentored numerous students that have presented their research at local, regional, and national chemical conferences. Many of these students have gone on to become physicians, research or industrial scientists, pharmacists, and others have decided to become teachers themselves to spread their love of science to future generations.
