Academic Translation
I am a specialist in Mass Spectrometry, a discipline I apply across various research fields. My primary line of research is framed within Chemical Biology, where I conduct experiments in complex biological matrices to evaluate the metabolism of microorganisms with potential for the industrial production of high-economic-value compounds.
Furthermore, in my capacity as an expert in this analytical technique, I have collaborated on multiple research areas requiring this expertise, such as:
-
The quantification of pharmaceuticals in environmental samples and remediation processes.
-
The phytochemical characterization of plant extracts.
-
The analysis of pesticides and their metabolites in environmental matrices.
