Head of the Mass Spectrometry Lab at the Women’s and Children’s Health Department he works on: Biochemical diagnosis of Inborn Error of Metabolism acylcarnitines and amino acids profiling of blood spots using ESI-MS/MS. Postmortem diagnosis of fatty acid oxidation disorders. Biochemical screening in urine of disorders of bile acids metabolism by ESI-MS/MS. Measurement of palmitate and linoleate turnover in critically ill infants by monitoring stable isotope labeled tracers in vivo. by GC/MS and GC-(combustion)(pirolysis) -IRMS for the elements 13C, 15N2, 2H2. Measurement of acylcarnitine metabolism in fibroblasts, by monitoring stable isotope labeled tracers in vitro, by the used of HPLC ESI-MS/MS. Oxidative stress, by LC-MS/MS exhaled nitrotyrosine on asthmatic children.
He has been involved in research projects for the application of metabolomics approach by NMR and mass spectrometry.
