Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Simon Fraser University
$200,000.00
High-Throughput Screening and Natural Products Discovery
FY 2024-25
Summary
Small molecules govern many processes in the natural world, from interspecies
communication, to chemical defense. This research program is developing new
platforms to characterize the chemical and biological properties of compounds found
in nature (i.e. ¿natural products¿). By understanding the distribution and function of
these compounds, we can develop bioacvtive molecules as treatments for human
diseases in a range of target areas including drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria,
neglected infectious diseases, and cancer.
