Mass Spectrometry is key technology for studying critical molecules and pathways. Defining molecular targets is crucial for the process of drug development.
In our group, we are focused on using proteomics, mass spectrometry and biochemical approaches to understand disease processes.
Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry
The group has expertise in proteomics based methodologies and hosts a platform containing a variety of chromatography equipment and mass spectrometers.
