Research Interests

Dr. Cartmell is interested in the discovery of novel bioactive natural products. His research focuses on methods for probing microbial dark matter in attempts to gain access to the missing 99% of microbes unable to be cultivated under standard laboratory conditions. He is also interested in developing microfluidic techniques for high-throughput screening of bioactive natural products as well as the activation of silent biosynthetic gene clusters.
