The research objectives of the Mycochem Group revolve around the generation of biopharmaceuticals by exploring, evaluating and characterizing bioactive compounds from endophytic fungi associated with medicinal plants, fungal symbionts linked to marine sponges and fungi allied to gold mine tailings. Research efforts are directed at discovering structurally diverse compounds for the treatment of TB. The crude extracts and pure compounds obtained from the symbionts are further utilized to synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNPs and AgNPs) and further converted to even more efficacious derivatives using semi-synthetic approaches.
