OSPACE research include:
Chemical Ecology: Uncovering how organisms use secondary metabolites for defense and communication.
Multi-omics (Genomics, Transcriptomics, Metabolomics): Mapping and profiling biosynthetic pathways comprehensively.
Ethnobiology: Leveraging traditional knowledge to guide compound selection.
Physiological Analysis: Linking biochemical profiles to adaptive biological functions.
This multidisciplinary strategy accelerates natural product discovery, scientifically validates ethnomedicinal uses, and promotes sustainable resource utilization.
Establish a strong interdisciplinary framework and develop baseline data, methodologies, and collaborations
Integrate ecological, molecular, and bioinformatic data for predictive and applied natural product discovery
Establish the program as a global hub for sustainable bioprospecting, drug discovery, and biodiversity-based innovation
