Join us at the UF Whitney Lab! Focus on research in a new brand new building!!

Great posters at #ASp2025! Thanks ASP, Whitney lab for travel support! #proudPI

The Rudolf and Loesgen Labs had a great 2025 beach Day! 5th time at the UF Whitney Lab!

Very excited for this paper- a new zebrafish screen for analgesics, works for natural products extracts. Open Access! More on ‘behavior-guided’ isolation to come! Thanks to the Strother team for a wonderful collaboration! @ UF WhitneyLab authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Very excited to see another molecule discovered by @LoesgenLab being synthesized! Congrats to the Blakemore lab- thanks for the collaboration! Stay tuned for some awesome activity! Congrats to Oh-Seok Kwon! @Whitney_Lab @UFChemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Very proud of Erin Marshall and Bastien Petit to present at ICNPR 2024 in Krakow, Poland. Cool bugs, chemistry, metabolomics, and neuro activity! Cant wait for ASP 2025! @LoesgenLab @Whitney_Lab @UFChemistry @pharmacognosy

The 4th annual Beach Day by the Rudolf and Loesgen Labs was a great success. This year with a boat tour, surfing, and pau hana! @Whitney_Lab @UFChemistry @LoesgenLab @LabRudolf

Exciting to be at the 7th International Cassiopea Workshop in Key Largo! #Cassiopeabase #Corals @LoesgenLab talks by @femontesanto @mrkmccauley and truly yours! Thanks @momedinamunoz and @aohdera for the invite! Proud to present @Whitney_Lab @UF

Once you become a Floridian, you have to save the manatees! Work by Annika Jagels @LoesgenLab Whitney_Lab, UFChemistry in collaboration with Uli Stingl UF_MCS. 'Fungal endophytes from Thalassia testudinum show bioactivity against the seagrass pathogen'_ www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Loesgenlab team at FloHet! Check out posters and connect! #FloHet2024 #NaturalProducts #ProudPI

Federica flew to Santiago de Chile and then Punta Arenas in southern Chile. She met our colleagues at the Instituto Antártico Chileno (INACH) and was outfitted and trained for the Antarctic Summer ;) January 16th, she flew to King George Island, Villa Las Estrellas, Antartica! 🐧 What an adventure!

Florida - Chile - Antartica! 🇺🇸 🇨🇱 🧊We are so excited for postdoc Federica Montesano from @LoesgenLab, @Whitney_Lab, @UF to join our Chilean Collaborators for Antartica Expedition ECA60 INACH 1621 to study Antarctic Fungi, Bacteria, Microbiomes. Safe travels & happy sampling!

Excited to host Christine Salomon today at 6pm
at the Whitney Lab for her public lecture "Battle for the bats - development of treatments for White Nose Syndrome". Join us in person or via zoom: calendar.ufl.edu/whitney-lab/... #NaturalProducts #DrugDiscovery

Exciting to be a small part of this work by Mark McCauley, Samantha Koda, and Dave Duffy at the UF Whitney Lab!
Why does the Environmental DNA community rely on mitochondrial DNA? We have evidence that nuclear DNA should not be overlooked! authors.elsevier.com/c/1iKvGB8ccy...
