Co-Director, Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute Proteomics Shared Resource and UAMS Proteomics Core Facility
Research Interest Statement
My research interests are focused on proteomics and mass spectrometry. As co-director of the Proteomics Shared Resource and UAMS Proteomics Core Facility, I am involved in a wide variety of basic and translational research projects and collaborations at any given time. The core facility maintains and operates five state-of-the-art mass spectrometers, two of which I secured for the facility with NIH shared instrument grants. The core lab offers cutting-edge, affordable proteomics analysis to all UAMS investigators and Cancer Institute members. Our facility is nationally recognized with users in 35 states and Puerto Rico, and our research is routinely published in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals. We work closely with other researchers to help them design proteomics experiments, apply for grants and publish papers. We offer complete sample processing services so that our collaborators can submit samples they can easily prepare in their own labs. We also work closely with the UAMS Bioinformatics Core to prepare data for our collaborators in publication-ready formats.
