About us
About us
We investigate the chemistry of talented microbes, such as #cyanobacteria, as a source of natural products with potential use as pharmaceuticals.
Our research includes aspects of #naturalproductschemistry #pharmacognosy #chemicalbiology #biotechnology #pharmacology and #microbiology.
We combine #bioprospecting tools such as #metabolomics and #genomics aiming at the discovery of bioactive compounds from the Brazilian biodiversity
