Research summary
AI-generated

Robert Pepin works in analytical chemistry with a focus on mass spectrometry, the technique of identifying molecules by measuring their mass. His research applies these tools to metabolomics (the large-scale study of small molecules in biological samples) to explore topics like diet, aging, Alzheimer's disease, and the microbiome, alongside some work on the structure of chemical compounds through crystallography.
