Research Interests
My work has been focused on structural characterization and quantification of complex lipid using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). To carry out the analyses, the state-of-art mass spectrometers, including electrospray ionization (ESI) coupled with tandem quadrupole and ion-trap mass spectrometry, matrix assisted time-of-flight (MALDI) mass spectrometry, and EI/CI GC/MS, currently equipped in the mass spectrometry facility in lipid research center were used. I have developed various tandem mass spectrometric methods to characterize complex lipids, including steroids, phospholipids, sphinoglipids, and glycolipids. Another aspect of my work focuses on structural characterization of candidate of biological relevance.
