Summary

 

Summary

The focus of my research is metabolomics data processing and analysis. With that objective I test, develop and apply chemometrics and machine learning methods, mostly programming in Matlab. Currently I am working on the large Combibio and Airwave LC-MS datasets, in order to achieve the best data quality possible, and analyzing it for multiple projects, including cardiovascular disease, ageing and dementia.

I have been developing a method to match metabolomic features in multiple peak-picked untargeted LC-MS datasets. That will allow us to concatenate similarly acquired datasets in order to increase power, or to use a dataset as discovery and another as validation.
