Biography
Research Interests
The Lange laboratory investigates plant specialized metabolism at multiple levels, including gene discovery, regulation of gene expression, enzyme characterization, metabolomics, and metabolic flux analysis. We are particularly interested in understanding metabolism in specialized anatomical structures and cell types (such as those associated with glandular trichomes and resin ducts), which are responsible for the accumulation of essential oils, oleoresins, and pharmaceutically relevant natural products.
Current Projects
