Biography

My research centers on advanced mass spectrometric techniques, combining relative and absolute quantification to explore complex cellular processes like growth, differentiation, and stress responses in disease biology. I am particularly focused on understanding disruptions in proteome homeostasis within the context of immunity, infection, and inflammation. My work aims to uncover proteome-wide protein turnover kinetics and characterize site-specific PTMs, utilizing cutting-edge metabolic tracing approaches like pulse-chase SILAC in both static and dynamic cellular systems.
