We have several opportunities to further your study.

Natural product biosynthesis
Our projects

We aim to understand how Daphniphyllum macropodum makes its complex alkaloids and explore their potential for therapeutics.

We are looking to express, engineer and apply C-C bond forming enzymes from plants to the synthesis of valuable chemical intermediates.

We are using genetic technology for the development and use of valuable co-products from rapeseed.

We are seeking to understand exactly how a mint has evolved into catmint: how did Nepeta evolve to make this unique compound?

Discovering biosynthetic pathways for medicinal diterpenoids from Euphorbiaceae family. The Euphorbiaceae family of flowering plants produce a diverse range of casbene-derived diterpenoids exhibiting diverse biological activities.
We work closely with a broad range of partners to tackle the challenges of the 21st Century.
