Marine Chemical Biology and Biotechnology
The interface between marine chemistry and marine biology, ranging from natural products chemistry and biotechnology to biogeochemistry and biochemistry relating to marine systems. Many of our researchers in this field work for the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine (CMBB).
