Expertise

Research Areas:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Our lab focuses on investigating the crucial role of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) in regulating and diversifying protein activities using innovative top-down mass spectrometry (MS) and functional proteomics technologies.

Overall, our research aims to uncover critical insights into protein modifications and their functional implications, advancing our understanding of disease mechanisms and potentially opening new avenues for targeted therapeutic interventions.
