Professor Masson develops spectroscopic biosensors for the analysis of biomolecules present in medical samples. He studies the properties of nano- and microstructures to improve the sensitivity of instruments and the properties of surface chemistry to improve analysis selectivity in biological fluids.

Professor Waldron’s group uses capillary electrophoresis with laser-based detection and mass spectrometry to identify proteins and peptides of biological importance. The group develops enzyme microreactors and methods for micro-scale sample preparation and separation for applications in environmental and biomolecule analyses.
