    Research interests

    I am responsible for the chemical characterisation of bioactive secondary metabolites in Marbio.

    The tools I use in the laboratory includes:

    • Mass spectrometry (MS), both quadropoles and high-resolution (HR) systems
    • Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS)
    • Chromatography, including low pressure (Flash) as well as both HPLC and UHPLC

    I use these tools to isolate and characterize bioactive secondary metabolites through the following workflows:

    • Extraction and prefractionation of biological material
    • Dereplication of bioactive extracts and fractions using UHPLC-IMS-HR-MS
    • Metabolic profiling and metabolomics
    • Mass guided fractionation using HPLC
