Prof. Paul Bancroft Reese

Research Interests

• Medicinal Plants. Plants, mainly from the Labiatae, Scrophulariaceae and Capparaceae families, are being examined to isolate and characterise the major natural products
• Microbial transformations. Natural products of agricultural and pharmaceutical interest are structurally modified by selected strains of fungi in an effort to produce a range of new analogues with enhanced bioactivity
