Presentation

I conduct research at the interface of analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and biomedicine, with a particular focus on biological barriers, biointerfaces, and lipid-based systems. By combining advanced analytical techniques with biological models, I investigate how molecular processes influence barrier function and drug transport to develop new approaches for diagnostics and targeted drug delivery.

A central focus of my research is the development of non-invasive diagnostic methods based on saliva, using metabolomics, proteomics, and data-driven analytical approaches to identify disease-associated biomarkers. My research is carried out in close collaboration with academic, clinical, and industrial partners.

I teach in the Biomedical Laboratory Science programme, the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy programme, and the Master's programme in Biomedical Surface Science. My teaching focuses primarily on analytical chemistry, bioanalytical methodology, and pharmaceutical applications of nanotechnology. I integrate current research into my teaching to provide students with both practical skills and a strong scientific mindset
