Research: Chemistry of Natural Products
and Mass Spectrometry of Organic Molecules
Our research work is focused on the area of organic chemistry, with an
emphasis on three main lines. The first is focused on the area of Chemistry of
Natural Products, where metabolic plant species are characterized and evaluated
for their biological activities. A second line of research is the investigation
of mechanistic aspects of reactions employing tandem mass
spectrometry, and use this knowledge as a tool for structural elucidation
of organic compounds. In addition to these lines, our interest is also focused
on organic synthesis, with emphasis on synthesis of benzofurans compounds and
semi-synthetic derivatives of natural products, and evaluation of their
biological activities.
