Dr. Wu has over 14 years in drug industry, 3 years in mass spectrometry company, and 5 years in research institute to developing various analytical approaches for protein characterization, proteomic analysis, and biomarker discovery. His research interest has focused on the application of mass spectrometry and separation science to cancer biomarkers, particularly in the area of post-translational modification of proteins.

Dr. Wu spent his early career in biotechnology industry (Genentech) where he learned protein biochemistry and applications of analytical bioscience, and then later in the mass spectrometry company (ThermoFinnigan) where he learned the ion trap, fourier transform mass spectrometry, and the study of proteomics using mass spectrometry approach. Recently, he joined the Barnett Institute of Northeastern University to develop LC-MS approaches for biomarker discovery at trace level.
