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.

Rowan and Varun published a short perspective titled Recent advances in gas phase unfolding: Instrumentation and applications.
Congrats to Rowan on her 1st first-author publication!
We had a fun time celebrating the lab and solving a magical mystery to escape from witchcraft alley!
Congratulations to Rowan for winning her section at the UMN Chemistry Graduate Student Research Symposium!
A few members of the Gadkari Group represented UMN Chemistry at the American Society of Mass Spectrometry Annual Conference in Anaheim CA!
Congratulations to Pete! He is one of two international graduate students to win the Pothapragada Fellowship in the 2023 cycle.
