Liangcheng Du PhD, Royal Vet and Ag University, Copenhagen, Denmark Postdoc, University of California, Davis |
Research in the Du group is at the interface of chemistry and biology. Specifically, we are studying the molecular mechanisms by which organisms (bacteria, fungi and plants) make structurally complex, biologically active natural products. Our goal is to use this knowledge to produce new bioactive products through genetic engineering. The studies involve tools and knowledge from biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and chemistry. |
