Research Expertise:
Pharmaceutical Analysis: Targeted quantification of regulatory, marker proteins for clinical study, using highly-sensitive nano-LC/SRM-based methods. A number of key analytical advances have been developed in his laboratory, which greatly enhance the proteomic coverage, sensitivity and throughput for proteomic research.
Proteomics: i) high-resolution and large-scale expression profiling of pathological proteomes (e.g. for cardiovascular diseases, colon cancer and infectious diseases) for the discovery of disease/therapeutic biomarkers using gel-free LC/MS methods; ii) Sensitive identification, localization and quantification of post-translational modifications in complex proteomes; Here, novel anti-PTM-peptide capture procedures, and alternating collision induced dissociation /electron transferring dissociation methods are employed to obtain abundant PTM information;
