introduction/brief CV

Dr. Kadi’s main research interest is in the area of Drug Metabolism. His research focuses on the in-vivo and in-vitro metabolic fate and biotransformation reactions of drugs and xenobiotics in mammalian tissue and fluids. In-vitro models of human and mammalian drug metabolism are of special current interest in Dr. Kadi’s research group. Dr. Kadi’s research also focuses on leveraging the power of advanced spectroscopic modalities such as mass spectrometry (MS) for the better understanding of Drug Metabolism. Specialized techniques such as mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) are of interest in the laboratory with the availability of an imaging platform, a high resolution MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization) orbitrap mass spectrometry system, which aids in addressing these research problems in his laboratory. Dr Kadi’s research takes part in bioanalysis studies aiming at developing analytical methods and assays of various drug compounds.
