Natural fibers from plants such as industrial hemp provide a renewable high-quality commodity that has the potential to enhance New Jersey agriculture and provide economic benefits for a wide variety of industries and small businesses in the state. Both established and emerging industries can benefit from industrial hemp by supplementing or entirely replacing petroleum-based products with those based on natural fibers while sequestering significant quantities of carbon from the atmosphere (Cherney (...)

This project seeks to isolate, identify and describe both known and novel microbiota (bacteria, viruses, etc.) associated with New Jersey's mosquitoes as part of an NIH-funded research project.
Effective surveillance of mosquitoes and pathogens is critical to monitor current disease outbreaks and detect the potential for future outbreaks before they occur. Early detection ensures that vector control efforts are directed to the right location at the right time to avert an epidemic. Surveillance (...)

Our lab has been looking at new compounds from which to develop potential antimalarial drugs. Much of our efforts go into chemically modifying classes of molecules known to bind to enzyme active sites, but that haven't been developed for use against malaria. As one example, we have been able to modify tetrahydroisoquinolonic (THIQ) amides to obtain several new compounds with high activity in several assays against Plasmodium falciparum, the malaria causing organism. These same compounds have shown (...)
