About me

Senior researcher, Professor, Biochemistry and Metabolomics

Main areas of research

Prof. Tomas Adam started working in diagnosing metabolic diseases as well as in development of diagnostic biochemical methods based on modern separation and mass spectrometry techniques. This led to subsequent development of metabolomic laboratory and relevant working pipelines.  He is involved in research of nucleotide metabolism in relation to inherited metabolic disorders, expanded newborn metabolic screening, developing novel statistical approaches to metabolic data and drug metabolism research in relation to cancer. In the last period he is focused on clinical applications and data analysis in metabolomics.

From a technological point of view is skilled in techniques such as liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry (QqQ, Orbitrap, ESI, high-throughput flow injection analysis, MS2/MS3 HR/AM fragmentation).

Last couple of years he has focused on metabolomics (targeted/untargeted approach - data processing, interpretation, analysis of bodyfluids, cells, tissues – clinical applications).
