Research Interests

a) Development of new methods for qualitative and quantitative determination of organic compounds and lipid analysis by liquid chromatography combined with modern techniques, such as mass spectrometry. Applications in the study of natural and non-natural components of food and biological fluids (eg milk, royal jelly, vegetables, serum, cell cultures). Targeted and non-targeted analysis.

b) Structure elucidation of organic compounds and study of organic reactions mechanisms by mass spectrometry - high resolution HRMS and MS/MS analysis through the fragmentation of organic compounds.

c) Study of organic compounds as inhibitors of enzyme activity and stability studies with LC-MS in plasma - pharmacokinetics.
