RESEARCH:

Electrochemistry- Research on the reduction and oxidation ability of the Iron in Hemoglobin.

Binding of Peptides in Lipids- Research on binding of a peptide in membrane with different composition of lipids using the JY- Horiba Flouromax2.

Flourescent Quenching- Using Acrylamide to quench tryptophan in a peptide to determine the binding capability of the peptide.

Peptide Purification- Used the Agilant 1100 HPLC to purify peptides which was used to bind different lipid composition. The two solvents that was used for this particular HPLC was acetylnitrile and water.

Immunohistochemistry- Research on health disparity of IGF-1 among minorities in prostate cancer.

Gas Chromatography Mass Spec.- Used to separate benzene from gasoline.
