Our laboratory is the result of the tripartite union of the School of Chemistry and the Centre for Research in Natural Products (CIPRONA) of the University of Costa Rica, and the National Center for Biotechnological Innovations (CENIBiot). Our group explores the microbiome in different environments in Costa Rica, in order to understand the functioning of these ecosystems and explore potential biotechnological applications.
