PROJECTS

THE PRAIRIE EXTRACT LIBRARY

We have 1800 extracts prepared from 180 plants species. Most of the species are unique to the prairie ecological zone and are not available elsewhere.
All extracts are traced to a voucher specimen, annotated, and tested in our bioassays.

ALL the NATURAL PRODUCTS

We are developing the "Natural Products of Canada" project. The mission is to identify all the natural products in all the vascular plants. These data are needed to understand how biology is connected.

PHARM-DRONE

The prairies are vast. We use unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and developed proprietary software to find prairie plants. It works.

THE POWER OF UNBIASED ASSAYS

We found a prairie plant which, when added to cells, causes them to mimic a rare human disease: Pelger-Huët Anomaly Syndrome.
