Hsi-Chun Chao's research focuses on developing and applying mass spectrometry techniques, especially gas-phase ion/ion chemistry methods, to study complex lipids such as sphingolipids, glycosphingolipids, phosphoinositides, and gangliosides. This work aims to distinguish structurally similar lipid variants (isomers) and quantify them in biological samples like brain tissue and blood, with applications to understanding disease processes such as stroke and neurodegeneration.
