MASS SPECTROMETRY

EMERGING CONTAMINANTS

FOODOMICS

Our Mission

  • To promote research on advanced analytical methodologies, using cutting-edge instrumental techniques, in variety of research fields, including Food Chemistry as well as Enviromental, Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry

  • To bring state-of-the-art mass spectromentry expertise, methodology, and instrumentation to the National and Kapodistrian University’s research and infrastructure

  • To provide answers to enviromental problems on emerging micropollutants and their (bio)transformation products through a holistic research approach, including monitoring, fate studies and ecotoxicology

  • To contribute to food authenticity, safety and quality issues, meeting society’s demands on trace adulteration detection, geographical and varietal origin distrimination and food contaminant evalutuation

  • To develop sophisticated software and advanced chemometric tools to be used as supporting non-target tools for data treatment and evaluation of results conserning food and enviromental safety and quality monitoring

Research

Our research focuses on:

  • High Resolution Mass Spectrometric target, suspect and non-target screening workflows for the identification of knowns and unknowns in environmental and food samples

  • Hyphenated techniques, liquid chromatography hyphenated with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

  • Application of multivariate pattern recognition techniques on large data sets for classification, feature selection, prediction, data reduction and modelling

  • Environmental chemistry of emerging micropollutants and their (bio)transformation products
