My Work

Unlocking the complexity and immense interconnectedness of the scientific mechanisms which dictate the properties and processes of the natural world is a major goal of my research. To this end, I seek to acquire a detailed understanding of many systems and how these various systems function together to generate the observations and measurements from my experimentation. Have a look at some of my projects below.

Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS)

I have expertise in Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and tandem Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). I used these methods for Lipidomics, Proteomics, and analysis. The instrument I used are:-

Q-Exactive Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (Thermo Scientific).
SYNAPT™ G2 High Definition Mass Spectrometry Q-TOF mass spectrometer (Waters Corp., Manchester, UK).

Software: expertise:

LipidSearch
Proteome Discoverer
Xcalibur
Masslynx

Transmission Electron Microscopy

In an effort to gain a better understanding of Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), I have recently begun to investigate the organization and functionality of the diverse parts of my experimental model. I am currently looking to expand this work by collaborating with other labs who have the facilities and prior experience to investigate this project further.

Cell Culture

I have expertise in cell culture for several assays. The name of the cell lines I used are:- MDA-MB-231 (human breast cancer cell), HEK293 (human embryonic kidney cell), Cos-7 (monkey kidney fibroblast-like cell),

Micro computed tomography

We still have only a very limited understanding of details anatomy of tiny insects like white ant (termite). These model organism is long living. Answering questions about this is essential for understanding the mechanistic role it plays on other scientific processes, and for developing tools to further explore this research avenue with more sensitive measurements and improved data collection.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI)

I have expertise in Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric imaging (MALDI-MSI) and desorption electrospray ionization (DESI-MSI). I used these methods for Lipidomics and non-targeted analysis. The instrument I used are:-

Xevo G2-XS Q-TOF mass spectrometer (Waters Corporation, Massachusetts, USA).
SolariX XR FTICR mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonik, Bremen, Germany),.
