Chemistry of Natural Products

Chemistry of Natural Products

Our research focuses on the study of natural compounds, their structure, function, and biosynthesis, with emphasis on biologically active molecules relevant for pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications.

Research Focus
– Structure and characterization of natural compounds
– Biosynthetic pathways
– Functional analysis of bioactive molecules
– Chemical diversity in natural systems

Overview
We investigate natural products as a rich source of biologically active compounds. By combining chemical analysis with biochemical and biological approaches, we explore their structure–function relationships and potential applications.

This research contributes to drug discovery, biotechnology, and understanding of natural biochemical processes.

Approaches and Methods
