The 2026 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Marine Natural Products and the accompanying Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) brought together scientists working at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and biotechnology to share new ideas and discoveries. At this year’s meeting, R. Sanjeevan presented a poster titled “Biosynthesis of Soft Coral Terpenes and Engineering Yeast for Enhanced Production.”  The project focuses on understanding how soft corals produce complex terpenes

We’re excited to share that a special issue in Marine Drugs  is currently in the works, focu sing on the ecology and biosynthesis of marine invertebrate natural products. This issue aims to highlight new discoveries at the intersection of chemical ecology, biosynthesis, and marine natural products research, with an emphasis on how organisms produce and use these compounds in their environments. If you’re working in this area and are interested in contributing, we’d love to he
