Exploring natural products diversity and complexity
The presentation will explore cutting-edge developments in natural product chemistry, addressing the challenges of elucidating their incredible and fascinating diversity and complexity through (bio)chemical and evolutionary lenses. It will highlight innovative approaches in data mining and metabolomics to decode intricate biosynthetic pathways. We will discuss how these tools bridge gaps in understanding molecular aspects of natural product chemical spaces wether they may come from microorganisms, plants or animals (marine invertebrate for example).
