Role & Interests

My work involves the characterization and or quantitation of small molecule metabolites in biological systems by GC-MS and LC-MS.
Current projects/ assays:

Isotope dilution GCMS
Analysis of catecholamines
Analysis of Kynurenine Pathway metabolites
Nitrates and Nitrites
Glucose
Hormones

LCMS
Acetylecholine and other quaternary ammonium biological amines
Hormones
Vitamine D and metabolites
Kynurenine Pathway metabolites

My interest is targeted metabolomics and the development of quantitative methods. Other duties include training of students and other users in the laboratory as well as instrumental techniques.
