    Post-doctoral researcher on the Waters collaboration to develop a UPLC derived glycan library (Glycobase). Glycobase 3.2 is a novel UPLC resource that contains elution positions (expressed as glucose unit values) for more than 350 2AB-labeled N-linked glycan structures determined by a combination of UPLC, exoglycosidase sequencing and mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS, ESI-MS, ESI-MS/MS, LC-MS, LC-ESI-MS/MS). Developed to help design, optimization of bioprocesses for the safe and economic manufacture of biopharmaceuticals.
