Medicine, agriculture and nutrition have all vastly improved over the last decade in large part by a rapidly growing understanding of biochemistry. Future advances in the life sciences will depend in part on rigorous training of students so they are conversant in biochemistry. Such knowledge will no doubt lead to even greater gains in our ability to understand nature and control our destiny. |
Research activities in the laboratory of Professor Paré
focus on understanding how plants produce natural products
as well as how such chemicals function in the context of
biological systems. Experimental approaches range from
organic synthesis to biochemistry and molecular biology.
Plants that we have recently published on and
routinely grow in the laboratory include Arabidopsis, corn,
cotton, onion and tomato. Caterpillars are reared in
the lab and several bacterial lines are
maintained. Research projects that are on going
are described in the links listed below. |
