I grew up at Genentech. Although my department name hasn’t changed in years, I am inspired every day by new analytical puzzles that need solving. Each day there is a challenge delivered, an intriguing biological question, a need for technological advancement, or the reward of providing data that contributes to understanding an MOA or binding preference. Although my group does proteomics and lipidomics, for the past ten years I have been largely focused on bringing native mass spectrometry into an industrial setting.

Postdoctoral Mentor

I am excited to mentor younger scientists. I feel like I have a lot to offer from my experiences both scientifically and career-wise, and have super exciting scientific areas to co-explore! Currently my main technological foci relate to improving methods for investigating membrane proteins and their ligands by native MS and developing top down methods for de novo sequencing of antibodies for biological matrices.
