Mass spectrometry is a core enabling technology that is used in many emerging and existing scientific fields. We are developing and applying experimental methods in mass spectrometry with an emphasis on fundamental and applied problems in chemistry and biochemistry.

Our current objectives are to:

  1. Significantly improve the rapid detection of organic molecules, biomarkers, and proteins with ultrahigh sensitivity by use of advanced ionization, ion mobility and tandem mass spectrometry methods
  2. Understand the molecular origins of cellular heterogeneity by developing novel single cell mass spectrometry methodologies
  3. Develop high-performance, portable ion spectrometers that operate at ambient pressure for the detection of many different chemicals nearly simultaneously
  4. Discover and explore the mechanisms of chemical reactions that are mediated by transition metal complexes and catalysts using ion-molecule reactions, ion fragmentation methods, and ion spectroscopy

Our research is highly interdisciplinary and we actively collaborate with other researchers in pharmacology & medicinal chemistry, protein engineering, bioinorganic chemistry, molecular biology, surface & materials chemistry, and electrical engineering.
