Our research is at the interface of Analytical Chemistry and Biology, Ecology and
Molecular Biology. This highly interdisciplinary research focuses on the development
of MS-based techniques for the analysis of small molecules (metabolites and lipids;
metabolomics) and proteins (proteomics) in a wide range of biological and environmental
samples, including microorganisms, bees, plants, animal tissue and soil. In addition, we are developing MS-based molecular imaging techniques, including imaging
MALDI-MS and MALDESI-MS and MS/MS. Combined, our goal is to develop novel MS-based
analytical techniques to answer questions about the molecular structure and function
of biological systems.
