Nicolás M. Morato's research focuses on mass spectrometry, particularly using charged microdroplets (tiny electrically charged liquid droplets) for both chemical synthesis and rapid chemical analysis. His work develops high-throughput platforms that combine desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (a technique that ionizes and analyzes samples directly from surfaces) with automated systems to speed up drug discovery, chemical reaction screening, and molecule characterization. This research sits at the intersection of analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, and pharmaceutical/biomedical applications.
