Roger Linington is a professor and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at Simon Fraser University in the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on high-throughput screening and natural products discovery, particularly in relation to drug discovery and chemical biology. His lab employs modern techniques spanning marine microbiology, natural product isolation, structure elucidation, synthetic medicinal chemistry, and metabolomics to explore biological problems and develop new drug compounds. The overarching goal of his research is to discover new classes of compounds suitable for drug development against pathogenic bacteria, cancer, and global health parasites. Linington aims to create chemical probes to understand basic biology in target organisms and enhance the development of metabolomics tools for chemical biological characterization of complex natural product libraries.
