RESEARCH INTEREST
My current research focuses on developing analytical methods for separating and purifying therapeutic peptides.
Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).
Developing methodologies for greening the SPPS.
Computational chemistry.
I’m interested in doing proteomic research and utilize various HPLC and HPLC-MS instruments to analyze potential molecules, especially peptides, either as potential drugs or biomarkers.
