Lin Xiaoqing

Lin Xiaoqing is a full-time Research Fellow at the Institute of Biochemistry, Academia Sinica. With a Ph.D. and Master's in Pharmacy from National Taiwan University and a B.Sc. from Taipei Medical University, they have focused their career on the isolation, identification, and biosynthesis of natural products for drug discovery.

Research Interests include:

• Structural diversity and pharmacological potential of natural products
• Gene and protein-level biosynthesis mechanisms
• Exploration of "silent" gene clusters via bioinformatics and genome mining
• Combinatorial biosynthesis through heterologous expression

Their recent publications emphasize the role of terpene cyclases, cytochrome P450 enzymes, and gene cluster analysis in fungal and mushroom-derived compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
