Analytical Biochemistry

The focus of analytical biochemistry within GRIP lies in performing research in analytical chemistry in the context of biomedical/clinical projects and in teaching undergraduate pharmacy students instrumental bio-analytical chemistry and biostatistics. Our main research focus is discovering and authenticating new biomarkers for a number of significant human diseases.

We are furthermore active in the development of new instrumental analytical methods related to biomarker discovery by combining organic synthetic chemistry, electrochemistry and analytical chemistry. A crucial part of our discovery work relates to data processing and statistical data analysis, which we tend to summarise under the heading ‘bioinformatics’.

The Analytical Biochemistry Group works closely together with the Mass Spectrometry Core Facility.
