Research Interests

• The interaction of inflammation and lipid metabolism using proteomics, mouse models, and cell-based methods.
• The development of novel high-throughput immunoassays and quantitative mass spectrometric assays for biomarker validation in large studies.
• The development of clinical laboratory tests using liquid-chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Initially we are attempting to clinically translate peptide immunoaffinity methodologies to the detection in serum of the tumor marker thyroglobulin, the best marker we have for differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
• Use of informatics and data mining to develop useful benchmarks from large datasets of common laboratory tests to evaluate medical interventions throughout the hospital to optimize patient care and to ensure patient safety.
