The award supports research using multi-omics technologies to identify biosynthetic genes for plant natural products and develop sustainable production methods, potentially improving access to medicinal compounds.
Description
This project aims to utilize advanced omics and synthetic biology techniques to discover and produce plant natural products with health benefits, addressing current limitations in access and production. The project will use state-of-the-art omics technologies to discover genes responsible for biosynthesis of eight pharmacologically relevant compounds and use this knowledge to enable robust, sustainable production via plant cell culture.
