About
Our mass spectrometry lab is equipped with state-of-the-art mass spectrometers. My research is focused on biomarker discovery relevant to cancers and other diseases from serum, tissue and body fluids, using advanced liquid chromatography coupled nano-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry technique. I also collaborate with other researchers to develop effective mass spectrometry methods for protein identification and post-translational modification characterization.
