With over 100 million chemicals in the largest databases and over 70,000 in household use alone, identifying the thousands of compounds present all around us is a huge challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All detectable molecules in complex samples can be captured using high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Non-target HRMS provides a \u201csnapshot\u201d of all chemicals present in a sample and allows for retrospective data analysis. While these methods constitute a basis to identify unknowns, they remain time consuming. Prioritising efforts to find potentially toxic substances responsible for observed effects is key, which involves reconciling highly complex samples with expert knowledge and careful validation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our group pursues a fundamental shift away from single-substance assessments, towards developing generic approaches scalable to tens of thousands of chemicals, features and samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By identifying chemicals in our environment, we hope to provide essential knowledge for unravelling the causes of disease and toxicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
