Research Interests

My research interests lie in the development and optimization of methods involving a combination of modern analytical techniques such as: liquid chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and light scattering, for the identification and characterization of proteins and other biomolecules. My current activity involves the use of Size Exclusion Chromatography coupled with a Multi-Angle Light Scattering detector (SEC- MALS) for the determination of the absolute molar mass and size distributions of macromolecules in solution, as well as, a Composition Gradient coupled with a Multi-Angle Light Scattering detector (CG – MALS) for the measurement of various parameters of protein – protein interactions such as; binding affinity, absolute molecular stoichiometry, self -  and hetero- association, and the kinetics of binding, aggregation and/or dissociation.
