Biography

My research focuses on auxin metabolic network analysis. I am using stable isotope labeling and LC-MS-based metabolomic methods to trace relative contribution of proposed pathways and characterize new routes involved in auxin biosynthesis.

Areas of Interest

Auxin biosynthesis, Metabolomics, Mass spectrometry
