I am a resident scientist conducting research in marine natural products. As a research chemist, I plan and carries out experiments to isolate and to characterize natural products for ongoing projects in the marine chemical ecology and natural products research programs. I have experience in the isolation and characterization of new biologically active natural products from plants, sponges, cyanobacteria and marine microorganisms.
