How do we pair omics to decode the diversity of 🌱plant specialized metabolism? In our latest paper, we present a perspective on how paired omics can support a collaborative effort to characterise the plant metabolome. @marnixmedema @jjjvanderhooft

I dream of a world in which every synthetic chemist runs biocatalytic rxns on the regular. Led by talented @NarayanLab postdoc @Apatoneh & in collaboration with @gpggrp, we take a major step toward this goal by making biocatalysis more accessible.
🌿CATNIP for all the #biocats
