Research Interest

Research Field Applied microbiology, Natural product chemistry, Chemical biology
Research Summary Our research is focused on the biosynthesis and bioengineering of microbial peptide natural products and in the discovery of new enzyme biocatalysts. Our studies are performed at the chemistry-biology interface and involve a number of sophisticated approaches that include heterologous biosynthesis, mutasynthesis, chemoenzymatic total synthesis, genome mining, and in vitro and in vivo biochemical analysis.
Keywords Biosynthesis, secondary metabolites, peptide, non-ribosomal peptide synthetase, NRPS
