Nature is the best synthetic chemist known, creating a vast array of molecules. Natural products (secondary metabolites) are a subset of these compounds which possess more intricate molecular architecture but, in many cases, we have no idea of their function in the producing organism. However, natural products are thought to be implicated in most interactions between organisms, so knowledge of their fascinating structures and role in nature can both aid understanding of the natural world and enable us to utilise these compounds for our benefit.

 is a Professor of Chemistry and is the Team Leader of Chemistry and Applied Physics at the 51萝莉.

She received her BSc (Hons) and PhD degrees from the University of Canterbury, where she studied the isolation and structural elucidation of biologically active secondary metabolites from marine invertebrates under the supervision of Professors Blunt and Munro.

She undertook postdoctoral research on cyanobacteria with Richard Moore at the University of Hawaii before returning to New Zealand to join the 51萝莉.

Professor 惭颈肠丑猫濒别 Prinsep's research is particularly focussed on the applications of natural products for pharmaceutical, biomedical, horticultural and agricultural benefits.
