Research project: Analytical pipeline for untargeted mass spectrometry data analysis of low molecular weight compounds and its application to investigation of metabolic signatures of human complex traits

Research interests: My research focuses on untargeted LCMS (liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry) lipidomics data analysis and its application to the study of human brain diversity, evolution and disease. Past and current projects include: population differences in brain lipid composition, human lipidome brain map, lipidome alterations in blood plasma of schizophrenia patients. I am also interested in data processing pipeline improvement for untargeted LCMS lipidomics.
