Phytoanalytics
EF 2017-18
Résumé
Phytoanalytics is the study of the complex chemistry of plants and products made from plants. My research investigates the wide range of chemicals produced by plants, how these compounds are synthesized, regulated, and allocated within plant tissues, the stability, extractability and activity of phytochemicals in plant products, and the role of plant chemicals in human health. This research has the potential to improve agricultural management practices, advance laboratory testing of these products, support development of novel therapeutics, and effect policy in the regulation of botanical-based natural health products. Through this work, we can ensure Canadians can achieve the potential health and economic benefits afforded by medicinal plants and natural health products.
