Rebecca Goss

Rebecca Goss is a Professor at the University of St Andrews School of Chemistry. Her research centers on natural product discovery, biosynthesis, and engineering, with emphasis on marine antibiotics, halogenase enzymes, and metabolomic approaches.

She investigates biosynthetic gene clusters for compounds like marinomycin, develops synthetic biology tools for natural product diversification, and explores cyanobacterial metabolomics under viral stress. Her lab employs heterologous expression and computational methods to advance antibiotic discovery.

Recent work includes AI-driven drug discovery frameworks, sustainable cross-coupling methodologies, and pandemic preparedness strategies. She leads interdisciplinary collaborations in metabolomics and bioinformatics.
