Khosla, 34, has been investigating the microbial genes that make polyketides, a class of complex molecules that fungi and bacteria use for chemical defense. (sciencemag.org)
His work has contributed to Nobel Prize - winning research, and in his own lab, he uncovered the inner workings of polyketide synthases, natural enzymes that act as factories to assemble complex chemicals that have antibiotic and anticancer properties. (sbgrid.org)
