Her research focuses on
mass spectrometry
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The results are presented as a ''mass spectrum'', a plot of intensity as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio. Mass spectrometry is use ...
, primarily identification and characterization of protein posttranslational modifications by complementary fragmentation techniques such as
electron-capture dissociation (ECD)/negative ion ECD (niECD) and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) at low (femtomole) levels.
She won the American Society for Mass Spectrometry's 2016 Biemann Medal.
