Why exploit fungi diversity in discovery programs?

Nature represents a formidable pool of bioactive compounds and is more than ever a strategic source for new successful commercial products.  Recent advances made in genomics, proteomics and combinatorial chemistry concede that natural compounds have already by essence a bio-activity or function  within the host and in the environment.

Microbial  sources such as fungi are well recognized to produce a wide variety of chemical structures, several of which have led to most valuable pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and industrial products.

The world of fungi provides a fascinating and almost endless source of biological diversity.  We estimate that at least 5 million new species could be isolated in culture. 

Fungi can be cultured and maintained in the laboratory to provide wide-ranging amounts of material for screening purposes.

The combination of these elements will provide you with an excellent source for your discovery programs.
