RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Our research group is interested in developing mass spectrometry-based methods to understand the cellular functions at the protein levels. The gas-phase mass spectrometric pattern is being investigated for noncovalent biomolecular interacting complexes to characterize biomolecular structures. In attempt to identify disease-associated biomarker and to decipher the disease mechanism, comparative proteomic approaches are being developed and applied to analyze the disease-related protein profiles qualitatively and quantitatively. Affinity based mass spectrometry methods are being developed for enrichment and further implementation on the targeted functional proteomic study.
