Performed multiple projects focused on the identification of potential candidate cancer biomarkers in human plasma and serum through the use of shotgun proteomics. Developed and optimized chromatographic techniques used to isolate low abundant glycoproteins from biological samples using multidimensional HPLC. Primary focus was on the use of multiple lectin.
