Research
IFR has for many years invested in analytical technologies (NMR, FTIR, MS, GC/MS, LC/MS), and has also embraced the post-genomic era (transcriptomics, proteomics). The data produced by all of these are megavariate - several thousand numerical values generated from each specimen examined. Advanced computational methods are essential in handling this kind of data; dealing with output from these diverse methodologies has driven our research in recent years. Main areas of interest include:
- Chemometric methods development and software tools
- Surface electromyography of the masticatory muscles
- Metabolomics and metabonomics data analysis
- Handling 1-d Electrophoresis Gel Images
- Food composition and authentication using molecular spectroscopies (IR, NMR, Raman)
