Current research topics:

• Identifying abundant constitutively expressed proteins in Francisella novicida cultured at various media using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.
• Developing a novel shotgun protein sequencing technique based on the multiple enzymatic digestion of a protein or protein mixture that reconstructs protein sequences from sequences of overlapping peptides.
