Translating plant chemistry into structured functional systems
From Plant Chemistry to Functional Systems
Applied botanical chemistry examines how plant-derived compounds behave within complex chemical and biological systems. My work focuses on phytochemical structure, compound interactions, solution chemistry, and the mechanisms through which plant-derived chemistry can be translated into practical applications. This research spans human-health formulation science and environmentally compatible extraction chemistry, connected through a common systems-level approach. Botanical Systems™ Science provides the scientific framework linking these research domains.
