Proteomics, Post-Translational Modifications, Lipidomics and Metabolomics, Cancer
At the Molecular Structure Center, we support structural and omics analyses of a wide range of research samples, including synthetic organic molecules, biomolecules developed at ITbM, and biological specimens, using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry technologies. Beyond routine measurements, we work closely with researchers to design optimal experimental strategies and analytical workflows tailored to their research objectives.
My research has primarily focused on proteomics and post-translational modification (PTM) analysis. More recently, I have expanded my research to multi-omics approaches that integrate lipidomics and metabolomics, supporting studies of a broad range of biological samples from humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms.
The center is equipped with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry platforms, including Orbitrap Astral and Q Exactive for proteomics, Orbitrap Exploris 240 for metabolomics, lipidomics, and targeted compound quantification, and an Agilent 8890 GC/5977B GC/MSD system for GC-MS-based metabolomics. We also provide comprehensive data analysis support using software packages such as Proteome Discoverer, PEAKS Studio, and Compound Discoverer, enabling seamless workflows from data acquisition to biological interpretation.
Through proteomics-based multi-omics approaches, I aim to advance our understanding of biological processes and disease mechanisms.
