Responsible for the establishment and recognition of the Bioanalytical Laboratory,Reseach and Developemental Chemistries at Washington State University. >Work with key instrument corporations to improve soil extractions and mass spectral analysis to completely define the rhizosphere metabalome (MS Ion Mobility Profiling). >Collaborate with other Universities worldwide on the experimental design and development of individual research projects concerning small molecule metabalomics/mass spectrometry. >Bio analytical Laboratory has partnered with medical researchers and offers internships to identify biomarkers for human diseases (Director/Investigator). >Provide comprehensive training to technical assistants and graduate students involving developmental chemistries, separation science and instrumentation with complete hardware and software training. >Provide internships for promising high school scientists concerning developmental chemistries and advanced separation techniques utilizing highly specialized analytical instrumentation. >Involved in out reach activities to train young minority scientists in advanced separation techniques and cutting edge technologies; skills that are in high demand throughout the U.S. >Primary investigator for the identification of key biomarkers for disease suppressiveness in the rhizosphere metabolome . > Primary investigator in the development of an ecologically friendly environment using sustainable methods for disease control by establishing the chemical communication that exists between plant, beneficial micro-organisms and pathogens. >Personally developed HPLC/PDA and HPLC/MS techniques to identify and quantify naturally occurring soil antibiotics produced by indigenous populations of bacteria. This information makes it possible to map out agricultural regions where naturally occurring soil antibiotics are produced. >Independent consultant & Co-investigator concerning these types of related systems and technologies.
