Analytical Chemistry: Biological Mass Spectrometry

Our research centers around using HPLC-MS to characterize biological samples. The two major areas of focus are lipid analysis and proteomics. In addition, several collaborative projects are on-going with investigators in the Biology Department here at UMB.
