My research focuses on the production (biosynthesis) of plant natural products with a particular attention on Capsaicinoids (pungent principle of peppers) and Terpenoids (monoterpenes and diterpenes). Most of this effort centers around four distinct areas of inquiry:
Students working in my laboratory will learn modern methods of organic and biochemistry, utilizing instrumental anaylsis extensively. Students will learn to operate instrumentation such as HPLC, GC-MS, UV/Vis, and IR spectroscopy. |
