Development of novel analytical approaches to make robust analyses more available

我最近改变了我的主要研究项目，与营养科学系（Balazs Bajka博士）合作开发了一个分析方法，用于检测生物样品中的氨基酸和脂肪酸。提出的问题-通常，研究人员会采集血液样本进行分析。这是昂贵和不方便的，并不容易为所有人口提供。为了克服这些缺点，我们要求并旨在研究是否可以从干血斑样品中检测和定量氨基酸和脂肪酸，以使更大规模更便宜的营养研究。方法-这将从学习和实施标准协议开始，以开发用于比较的参考数据集，并开发用于鉴定、检测和定量氨基酸和脂肪酸的新分析方法。干燥的血斑样本该项目的另一个分支是开发分析体外消化实验产品的方法，这些实验由营养学家进行，以评估营养素的生物利用度。

I have recently changed my primary research project to a collaborative project with the Department of Nutritional Sciences (Dr Balazs Bajka) developing analytical methods for detecting amino acids and fatty acids in biological samples in readily deployable formats.Proposed question - Usually, researchers take blood samples for analysis. This is costly and inconvenient and is not readily available to the whole population. To overcome these drawbacks, we ask and aim to investigate if amino acids and fatty acids can be detected and quantified from samples of dried blood spots, to enable larger cheaper nutritional studies.Methodology - this would start by learning and implementing standard protocols to develop a reference data set for comparison and developing novel analytical methods for the identification and detection and quantification of amino acids and fatty acids in dried blood spot samples. Another branch of the project is to develop methods to analyse products from in vitro digestion experiments which are done by nutritionists to assess nutrient bioavailiability.
