DESCRIPTION:Plants\, which make thousands of complex molecules\, are outsta
 nding chemists. The molecules that plants synthesize often have powerful b
 iological activity and many are used as drugs. For example\, vincristine (
 anti-cancer)\, taxol (anti-cancer)\, morphine (anti-pain)\, and artemisini
 n (anti-malarial) are all produced by plants. Our research group studies h
 ow plants synthesize these molecules and we try to use this knowledge to m
 ake these compounds more available and more effective. We study a variety 
 of different plants and molecules. Two recent examples are the anti-cancer
  agent vinblastine\, and the insect repellent (and active ingredient of ca
 tnip) nepetalactone.
