Background
Professor Carlson’s research program focuses on the development and application of advanced chemical biology and systems biology technologies to both define the mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis and identify potential therapeutic agents. We are pursuing the development of technologies for natural product discovery including innovative methods for compound isolation, screening, and diversification. We are also utilizing state of the art metabolomic and proteomic methods to map the biochemical pathways associated with bacterial pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance.
Projects in Dr. Carlson's research group are highly multidisciplinary and members will gain expertise in organic synthesis, chromatography, mass spectrometry, structure elucidation, proteomics, metabolomics, biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology.
**Special Announcement**
The Carlson Lab is looking for student and postdoc applicants with interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Projects range from the development of new probes for chemical proteomics to the generation of novel chemoselective and regioselective functionalization strategies. Please submit your CV, list of publications, and contact information for references to carlsone@indiana.edu. Include a short description of your research interests, long-term goals, and possible start dates.
