Taif-ChemEcoLab is a research initiative based at
Department of Chemistry and Biology, College of Science, Taif University, Saudi Arabia.
In collaboration with Department of Biosciences, University of Rostock, Germany.
Our research focuses on:
- 🌿 Chemical Ecology
- 🐜 Insect–Plant Interactions
- 🧪 GC–MS Metabolomics
- 🌱 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- 🔬 Sustainable Pest Management
- 📊 Data-Driven Chemical Analysis
- Aphid VOC Library
- Red Palm Weevil Early Detection via Metabolomics
- GC–MS Data Harmonization Pipelines
- Chemical Signal Biomarker Discovery
We aim to integrate:
- Classical chemical ecology
- Advanced analytical chemistry
- Computational data science
- Machine learning approaches
to develop sustainable and rapid pest detection systems.
