About Us
We are an
enthusiastic team focusing on drug discovery from ocean microbiota. Microorganisms
are ubiquitous in the ocean environment with an estimated 10 thousand to 1 million
cells per milliliter, providing the grounds for immense genetic diversity. Using a
combination of bioinformatics, microbial genetics, metabolomics, and chemical
biology, we seek to convert the tremendous genetic potential of microbiota into
chemical reality for the discovery of structurally novel and biologically active
molecules. We also plan to delve into the chemical ecology of the ocean by studying
the chemical "language" of host-microbe interactions.
