Metabolomic and proteomic analyses for applications in pharma, environment and materials
We answer questions and solve problems relating to pharmaceutical bioanalytics and environmental analytics. Metabolomic and proteomic analyses of biological systems with high-resolution LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS technologies is a major focus of our research. We also use highly sensitive NMR spectroscopy for structural elucidation and quantification.
We collaborate successfully with partners from industry, start-ups, public institutions and academics on a variety of application-based research projects. Our experienced team works with a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies in labs kitted out with the latest equipment.
