The studies were supervised by Spinnovation Analytical, Bruker BioSpin, and funded by Bruker BioSpin, Schering-Plow, Spinnovation Analytical, Synthon, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Gelderland Province and the Overijssel Province.Investigation of molecular interactions to make better bio-fluid analysis. The focus was on blood plasma, a very complex bio-fluid in its chemical composition and difficult to handle.- Establishing the links between 'fatty acid-albumin' and 'metabolites-albumin' interactions, an important phenomenon in diabetes.- Invention of a new (potentially patentable) method for measuring the concentration of proteins in fluids.- Illustration of how to measure 'free' and 'bound' molecules in the blood plasma.- Presentations of results to financiers two to three times a year.- Participation and presentation at international scientific conferences, with posters (Germany, Croatia, Sweden, The Netherlands).- Training in research tools: Academic Writing, BNRA (advanced course in NMR spectrometry), PhD NMR in vivo, Chemometrics, International Summer School of Biophysics.- Teaching spectroscopic methods to BSc students and trainee tutor.
