Research Field
Research projects aim to decode how the metabolome and proteome, two of the most important classes of molecules in biology, interact at the molecular level. This will generate deeper insight into the function of metabolites (natural products) which have a central role in interactions with therapeutic targets. Development of mass spectrometry-based platforms for unbiased and rapid discovery of bioactive compounds.
