Kathleen ReinProfessor

Nearly all of the research performed in the Rein lab is associated with algal toxins. Several projects are ongoing and involve toxin biosynthesis or metabolism, mechanism of action, endogenous function, detection methods or isolation and identification of unknown toxins. Techniques that students in the Rein lab will learn and perform include organic synthesis, natural product isolation and structure elucidation, biochemistry, enzymology and molecular biology applied to natural product biosynthesis, and molecular modeling.
