RESEARCH FOCUS

The functional metabolomics lab combines cutting-edge, multidisciplinary approach to explore the biological role, regulation, diversity, and distribution of natural products in microbes and algae. Molecules are explored in their ecological context, and their potential biotechnological, food tech, cosmetics, and medicinal applications. We apply mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, transcriptomics, and genomics to correlate the chemotype to phenotype for the discovery of compounds and new biological functions.
