About LaBioQuiMi
The chemistry that connects microbes
The Laboratory of Microbial Chemical Biology at Unicamp's Institute of Chemistry studies the molecules fungi and bacteria make to communicate, compete and cooperate, using culture, chromatography, mass spectrometry and bioassays.
Our goal is to understand these chemical interactions and discover natural products with potential for new medicines and for agriculture.
