Overview

Our lab combines cutting-edge experimental (e.g., LC-MS, metabolomics, RNA-seq) and computational (e.g., bioinformatics, molecular networking, machine learning) approaches to develop new workflows for the discovery and utilization of bioactive molecules derived from plants. The aim of this project will be the development of methods for structural analysis of small molecules isolated from plants using the technique of crystalline sponge X-ray diffraction. The applicants for this position should already have laboratory experience with small molecule crystallography.
