Research interests:
Prof Marion Meyer’s main research interest is in the isolation, identification and mode of action of secondary compounds from medicinal and poisonous plants. Several novel compounds with bioactivity on erectile dysfunction, malaria, tuberculosis and other pathogenic bacteria and viruses have been isolated from traditionally used plants. Metabolomic approaches (mostly nmr) are employed in several projects to identify biomakers and bioactive compounds. He collaborates with several international institutions, including the ITMO St Petersburg University.
