Chemomuseomics

Chemomuseomics

In this project we aim to combine approaches from museomics with our expertise in metabolomics to investigate the chemodiversity of herbarium plant material. Currently, chemical analysis of historical plant samples is combined with plant drying simulation experiments to assess the reliability of chemical information retrieved from chemomuseomic analysis. We plan to conduct comparative analyses of herbarium specimens of different ages to investigate how chemical diversity has evolved at various regional levels over the past few centuries.
