The research group Phytochemistry and Biochemistry of Natural Products at TU Wien is dedicated to the chemical diversity of plant constituents and their role in metabolism, physiology and application. The focus is on the secondary metabolism of selected crop plants and ornamental plants, the structural and functional characterisation of the enzymes involved, and the development of bioactive compounds from organic residues for sustainable high-end products. In this way, the spectrum ranges from basic research to innovative, resource-saving technologies for nutrition, materials and other fields of application.
