Research interest
Theory, instrumentation and methodology of high-performance capillary and free-flow electromigration methods in a free solution: zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography and open-tubular electrochromatography.
Application of these techniques to separation, analysis, preparation and physico-chemical characterization of amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleosides, nucleotides and other biologically active compounds.
