About
My research project
Advancement of laser-based atomic spectroscopy techniques for biological sample analysis; from elemental profiling of tissues down to the cell organelle levelInvestigating the advancement of atomic spectroscopy techniques, specifically Single Particle - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS), Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Laser Ablation - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), for the elemental analysis of biological tissue, single cells and bacteria. Main objectives of the project include the optimization of sample preparation, calibration and instrumental analysis, with applications in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis research and treatment.
