We are the newest bioanalytical chemistry group in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota. Our research is aimed at developing native mass spectrometry, ion mobility-mass spectrometry, and charge detection mass spectrometry techniques for the structural analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, and their complexes.  Projects span a range of interests including biomolecular structure, neurodegenerative disease, and bioanalytical method development.
