Research topics
- Research in the Cziferszky Lab focuses on the molecular interactions of metal-based drugs with biomolecules, including their selectivity, stability and reversibility.
- We develop mass spectrometry-based methods and protocols specifically for the investigation of metal ion-biomolecule adducts, ranging from top-down and bottom-up to energy-resolved approaches.
- We are also interested in host-guest chemistry and mass spectrometry of non-covalent assemblies
