RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Multi-disciplinary bioanalytical and biomedical research and the general application of micro-imaging for nanoscale chemical/biochemical analysis.

RESEARCH CURRENTLY UNDERWAY:

• The synthesis, characterization and application of exogenous markers (particularly multi-modal signaling agents) for early disease detection, diagnosis and in-vitro assays.

• The quantification of solute transport in pathological tissue and the elucidation of mechanisms for M-cells involvement in chemical carcinogenesis.

• The application of lasers to nanoscale chemical and biochemical analysis, particularly for nano-scale investigations such as label-free protein sequencing.

• The use of micro-fluidics for on-chip patterning, high throughput screening, rapid biochemical assays, proteomics and point of care analysis.
