RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Based on our past techniques of cell mass spectrometry and single particle mass spectrometry of viruses and cells, we are developing novel ion soft landing techniques using linear ion trap to mass-select high mass biomolecules and nanoparticles. The soft landed ions will be targeted on the surface of interest and explored their surface reactivity. Ongoing projects include the development of nanoparticle mass spectrometry using linear ion trap, the study of gold nanoparticles uptake into mammalian cells using cell mass spectrometry, and identification of microorganisms using mass spectrometry.
