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.
