Personal profile
Research Interests
We are a research group focused on proteomics and mass spectrometry. For more info see our lab webpage: collinslab.net
We aim to make progress in a number of areas:
1) Advanced proteomics via data independent acquisition (DIA) method development
2) Chemical proteomics and drug discovery
3) Targeted approaches to studying dynamics of protein-protein interactions
4) Global strategies for studying protein complexes based on cofractionation
5) Applications in host-pathogen interactions and innate immunity
