Our work focuses on the discovery and heterologous expression of pathways and genes involved in the biosynthesis of metabolites from unique microbial sources.
Research Description:
Our laboratory is interested in how small molecules known as natural products are made in the environment. We are especially interested in natural products produced by uncultivated microbial ‘dark matter’ and those produced by unconventional bacterial and fungal sources.

Expertise:
Natural product biosynthesis, Microbial genetics, Targeted metagenomics
