Elizabeth I. Parkinson's research focuses on natural products from bacteria, particularly Streptomyces species, examining how these organisms regulate and produce bioactive chemical compounds. Her work combines chemistry techniques like organic synthesis with genetic and bioinformatic tools to understand molecules that trigger antibiotic production, as well as compounds with potential to selectively kill cancer cells. This work sits at the intersection of chemistry, microbiology, and cancer biology, with applications for discovering new antibiotics and antitumor agents.
