Urban, Sylvia - RMIT University - School of Science, Applied Sciences

研究领域

The research speciality of Dr Urban is aligned with the research field of natural products chemistry, involving skills in the areas of chromatography for purification and instrumental analysis and interpretation for structural characterisation and elucidation. Dr Urban is the research leader and founder of the Marine and Terrestrial Natural Product (MATNAP) research group in the School of Applied Sciences (Discipline of Applied Chemistry). The research scope of the group is to explore the biodiversity of Australian marine and terrestrial organisms (eg. Plants, fungi, sponges, algae etc…) in the quest for new compounds for the purposes of drug discovery other applications. To expedite the process of discovery, various dereplication and chemical profiling strategies have become an important focus of the research. . Major research interests Natural product chemistry isolation and structural elucidation NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for characterisation of natural products High Performance/Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and other chromatographic techniques for natural product purification (analysis of complex samples and extraction methodologies for natural products) Hyphenated spectroscopic techniques such as HPLC-NMR and HPLC-MS for natural product profiling Analytical/Organic chemistry and instrumental analysis for structural characterisation Biological evaluation of natural products (drug discovery and other applications)
