Research summary

Liva Harinantenaina studies natural products—chemical compounds isolated from plants, fungi, lichens, and marine organisms—identifying their structures and testing their biological activities such as anticancer and antimicrobial effects. Much of this work uses spectroscopic and mass spectrometry techniques to characterize new molecules, including from Madagascar-endemic plants and lichen-derived fungi, and to explore how these compounds are biosynthesized. This research could interest students in natural product chemistry, chemical ecology, or pharmacognosy (the study of medicines derived from natural sources).
