Huijuan Guo

Dr. Huijuan Guo is a researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Hans Knöll Institute) in Jena, Germany, part of the Leibniz Association. Her work focuses on discovering and characterizing novel natural products from microbial sources, particularly bacteria associated with insect hosts.

Dr. Guo's research spans several key areas:

• Natural Products Chemistry - specializing in isolation and structural elucidation of novel compounds
• Microbial Metabolites - investigating secondary metabolites produced by actinobacteria
• Chemical Biology - examining the ecological roles of natural products
• Antibiotic Discovery - exploring unconventional sources for new antimicrobial compounds

Her publication record reveals a strong emphasis on natural product discovery from unique microbial ecosystems, often employing advanced techniques like HRMS-based dereplication, NMR analysis, and X-ray crystallography. Dr. Guo frequently collaborates with international research teams across multiple institutions, demonstrating an active research program with global connections.

At the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology, Dr. Guo works within a specialized research environment dedicated to understanding the chemical interactions between microorganisms and their hosts, with particular focus on symbiotic relationships that yield novel bioactive compounds.
