Research summary
AI-generated

Wei Xu's research centers on developing and improving mass spectrometry instrumentation and methods, including miniature/portable mass spectrometers for on-site detection of drugs and chemical residues, and native mass spectrometry approaches for studying protein structure. This work also extends into proteomics workflows (analyzing large sets of proteins in biological samples) and applying these analytical chemistry tools to biomedical questions such as biomarkers and protein assembly.
