Our research lies at the intersection of Mass Spectrometry, Biology, Bioinformatics and Synthesis and we aim to improve our understanding of the composition of the metabolome in different organisms. It is safe to say that billions of years of evolution has led to the development of complicated metabolic and protein networks to sustain life. Thus, the biosynthesis of metabolites is no longer a random process, and metabolites represent biotransformations with a particular function and purpose. Consequently, discovering previously unknown metabolites provides new insight into previously uncharted biological processes. In addition to helping understand previously uncharted biological processes, discovering metabolites also has the potential to help us understand corresponding functions, disease progression as well as develop more efficient disease treatments.
