Bioanalytical Expertise & Training Hub

Towards better health

Measuring substances in patients, food, agricultural products, and the environment

Welcome

The Bioanalytical Expertise and Training Hub

We are a training hub for bioanalysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), providing expert bioanalytical resources and support for collaborative research. As a training hub, we guide trainees in developing bioanalytical skills that can be applied to their respective projects.  Each trainee receives theoretical and hands-on training tailored to their individual project needs. At the end of the training, trainees are expected to become independent users.  We foster critical thinking, networking, and collaborative approaches to solving research problems through a strong spirit of teamwork. Our expertise in bioanalysis strengthens a collaborative approach to discovery research.

We train a diverse group of highly qualified personnel (HQP), including M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, undergraduate students, visiting students and scholars, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, research associates, technicians, and faculty members.
