Research

All the sciences are connected. Expertise in geology can be applied to many disciplines, even public health. Dirk is interested in a new area of geochemical research: metallomics. Is it possible to use geochemical analytical techniques to measure metal isotope ratios in human blood? High precision isotope ratios in blood may prove to be a diagnostic biomarker for certain diseases.
