MacMillian
The MacMillan lab focuses on the isolation and characterization of natural products from marine-derived bacteria that have promising biological activity.
Auerbuch Stone
The Auerbuch Stone lab investigates the bacterial type III secretion system (T3SS) that enables virulence of numerous important bacterial pathogens and has developed a high throughput screening pipeline to identify natural products and natural product-inspired compounds with T3SS inhibitory activities.
|
The McKinnie Lab studies biologically significant natural products, how their unique chemical structures impart their respective activities, and how they are chemically and biochemically assembled.
|
Crews
A primary goal of Phillip Crews' marine natural products research is to understand the chemistry of tropical marine sponges.
Lokey
The Lokey lab leverages the structural complexity of natural products to access a biological target space that lies beyond the enzyme active sites and receptors targeted by conventional small molecule drugs. Naturally occurring cyclic peptides, in particular, exhibit a range of biological activities whose diversity is reflected in their rich structural variety.

The Sanchez lab utilizes cutting edge mass spectrometry methods to interrogate complex biological systems and microbial communities.
