Research
Sweedler’s research interests are in bioanalytical chemistry and focus on developing new methods for assaying the chemistry occurring in nanoliter-volume samples and applying these analytical methods to characterize the small molecule and peptide cell-cell signaling molecules from systems ranging from microbial ecologies to animal nervous systems. Sweedler is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Analytical Chemistry. Visit his research group’s website for more information.
