The Ma Research Lab
at URI College of Pharmacy
As a part of the Bioactive Botanical Research Laboratory (BBRL), our lab studies the chemistry and biological activities of natural products. Together with collaborators from academia and industry, we develop and commercialize bioactive natural products for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical applications.
Research
We ask questions and think the big picture
-
what is the phytochemical constituent of a medicinla plant and/or functional food?
-
what biological effects these phytochemicals can exert?
-
how do we measure these biological activities?
-
can we develop a natural products-based pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or cosmeceutical product?
