The Boddy lab focuses on harnessing biosynthetic pathways to produce complex molecules. Using synthetic chemistry and biochemistry, the lab aims to understand how microorganisms construct complex biologically active molecules. The research takes advantage of biosynthetic pathways to generate complex natural product analogs, which provide essential compounds for developing enzyme inhibitors, studying mechanisms of action, and determining structure-activity relationships. Professor Boddy's work integrates principles from organic and biological chemistry, exploring topics such as polyketides, nonulosinic acids, biomimetic total synthesis, enzymology, molecular microbiology, and metabolic engineering.
