Suhad’s research focuses on specialised metabolites of medical and agrochemical use, that are naturally synthesised by plants, fungi, and bacteria. She uses a range of techniques, including comparative genomics, metabolomic and mass spectrometry to answer the following questions: what type of organic molecules do the selected species produce? when and how much they produce? and how to modify those molecules to be utilised pharmaceutically and chemically?
