Teaching/Research Interests My laboratory research efforts in natural products chemistry, biochemical systematics and phytochemical evolution and ecology are concentrated in four areas: (i) Comparative phytochemistry and ethnopharmacognosy of endemic medicinal plants of the Asteraccae, Anacardiaceae, Fabaceae, I-ecythidaceae and Rubiaceae of the Tropical Rain forests of Africa, Asia and Latin America (ii) Environmental studies of tropical and desert ecosystems and conservation of biochemical diversity and chemical specialties (iii) Zoopharmacognosy, the study of the non-nutritional use of pharmacoactive constituents by wild apes of Africa and monkeys and other mammals of the Amazons and the Atlantic rain forest and (iv) cellular phytochemistry of nematicidal, antiviral and antiparasitic arelochemicals produced by plants, insects and fungi.
