Experimental & Computational Methods
My work is centered on methodological rigor, reproducibility, and the integration of experimental and computational approaches. Below is an overview of the key methods and pipelines I routinely use.
Quantitative Proteomics
Mass Spectrometry
- LC-MS/MS (DDA and DIA)
- Top-down and bottom-up proteomics
- Crosslinking-MS strategies
Software
- MaxQuant
- PEAKS
- DIA-NN
Isotope Labeling Strategies
- SLIM / bSLIM metabolic labeling
- Comparative proteomics across biological conditions
- Statistical validation of protein quantification confidence
bSLIM labeling strategy
The bSLIM strategy enables robust quantitative proteomics by leveraging partial isotopic labeling. Unlike complete labeling approaches, bSLIM preserves biological flexibility while allowing accurate estimation of protein abundance changes across conditions.
Computational & Bioinformatics Analysis
Programming & Data Analysis
- Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib)
- C++ for critical algorithms
Focus areas
- Signal processing
- Quantitative confidence assessment
- Algorithm development for proteomics
Exeample : Molar fraction estimation in bSLIM labeling
To quantify the fraction of non-labelled peptides in bSLIM experiments, I am using a mathematical formulation that relates isotopic incorporation to observed MS signal intensities.
Cell Biology & Biochemistry
- Cell culture and protein extraction
- FPLC and biochemical fractionation
- Xenopus laevis egg extract preparation
