- What is the chemical constitution of a complex mixture?
- Do botanical natural products have well defined mechanisms of action?
- What role do additive, synergistic or other interactions play in botanicals?
These are important questions facing the natural products community as we seek to provide basic scientific evidence about the health benefits of botanical medicines. To answer these critical questions, the HiFAN group develops and implements new technology, tools and data interfaces. We are developing tools for metabolomics, biological assays and powerful, web-based systems for data integration.
