Profile

I am a clinical biochemist and mass spectrometrist with in-depth expertise in proteomics. I was originally educated in medicine and biochemistry, and then received industrial and academic training in biological mass spectrometry.

My views on applied proteomics science were greatly influenced by experiences I gained working with outstanding researchers in Prof Matthias Mann’s lab at Max Planck Institute in Munich – one of the world’s leading proteomics labs where I played a part in the development of the FASP sample processing technology (2009), the distinguished tool in the bottom-up proteomics area, which has 8,500+ citations.

I am the inventor of the popular Suspension Trapping (STrap or S-Trap™) proteomics sample preparation technology which has been used in thousands of studies in many proteomics areas since its publication in 2014. It has been my science objective to develop effective essential tools helping to unleash the power of the mass spectrometry-based proteomics in medical research.
