OverviewAI-generated summary
Rohana Liyanage's research focuses on the application of mass spectrometry techniques, including Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS), to analyze complex biological and chemical compositions. Liyanage has investigated the polyphenol content of berries, such as blackberries, and the effects of processing and storage on these compounds, with implications for their bioactive properties. Further research has involved characterizing lipid compositions in bacteria like *Escherichia coli* and *Bacillus subtilis* using mass spectrometry. Liyanage also studies the modulation of gene and protein expression in *Campylobacter jejuni* biofilms by specific compounds, such as trans-cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, with relevance to poultry health.
