Regular biography
Frank C. Schroeder is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. His research focuses on biogenic small molecules (BSMs), which play critical roles in biological processes and represent a significant source for new drug leads. His work involves the structural and functional annotation of metabolomes, particularly in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and the development of analytical tools for identifying and characterizing these molecules. Schroeder's research also explores the chemical ecology of microorganisms to identify potential new antibiotics. His work integrates analytical chemistry, biosynthesis, and small-molecule signaling to advance drug development and understanding of disease-relevant interactions.
