Research

• Phytochemistry & Biodiscovery
• Discovery of lead-like constituents from natural sources by biochemometric methods (correlation of chemical and biological data)
• Application of chromatographic techniques for the isolation and purification of natural compounds
• Development of analytical methods for qualitative and quantitative phytochemical investigations
• Structure elucidation of secondary metabolites by the interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR
• Identification of potential natural leads against acute respiratory infections (e.g. influenza, pneumococci)
