Research
My research focuses on the design and synthesis of a library of fluorogenic peptide substrates. This library will be used to characterize proteolytic activity patterns associated with sepsis in patient plasma.
I use a range of analytical and chemical techniques, including solid-phase peptide synthesis, HPLC, LC-MS, and fluorescence-based enzymatic assays, to evaluate substrate selectivity and performance. My work involves substrate screening and clinical data analysis to identify unique protease activity signatures that distinguish sepsis from other inflammatory conditions. Ultimately, my goal is to translate these findings into a rapid, cost-effective diagnostic test that enables early detection and personalized treatment of sepsis.
