Ph.D., 2009, Medical University of South Carolina
B.S., 2003, The Univeristy of Georgia 


Research Interests

  • Development of new materials for *omic applications
  • Generating standardized proteomic data across non-model species as part of the CoMPARe (Comparative Mammalian Proteome Aggregator Resource) Program
  • Emerging proteomic applications, specifically working with stakeholders to optimize and standardize methods for data-independent acquisition and metaproteomic analysis
  • Design and improve quality controls (samples or spike-ins) and/or quality metrics useful for large-scale proteomic workflows
  • Develop new workflows to integrate genomic/transcriptomic and proteomic data in a meaningful way to create synergy between the approaches, improving their analytical strength and statistical power. These algorithms use open-source platforms with eventual integration of other *omic data such as lipidomic and metabolomic
  • Developing and optimizing methods utilizing selected reaction monitoring to quantify multiple prototypic peptides in complex matrices such as serum, cerebral spinal fluid, and/or urine
