My research interest lies in developing and applying new proteomics and metabolomics methods using liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry to study a broad range of fields and applications, including crop breeding, plant biotechnology, food processing, biomarker discovery, toxicology and pharmacology. As the director of the Proteomics & Metabolomics facility at the Center for Biotechnology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I serve the scientific community in providing tools and expertise in the fields of proteomics and metabolomics, and establishing specialized methods for the analysis of proteins and a wide range of metabolites.
