Heidi Presents at ASMS Winter Conference on Microbial Sciences

Advancing Metabolomic Characterization of Eukaryotic Pathogenic Systems: A Focus on High-Resolution Ion Mobility Separation of Lipid Isomers Heidi M. Sabatini, Christopher D. Chouinard Metabolomics provides a powerful lens for understanding eukaryotic pathogens by revealing small-molecule networks that drive infection, adaptation, and host interactions. These signatures can uncover virulence mechanisms, drug targets, and biomarkers not evident…

Chemistry exhibit at Clemson showcases historic instruments that drive modern innovation

Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical tool that provides detailed molecular information with high sensitivity and specificity. It is essential to modern forensics, pharmaceutical analysis, space exploration and more. A new exhibit highlighting the development of mass spectrometry commissioned by the American Society for Mass Spectrometry will be on display at Clemson University until next…

“Improving Steroid Detection Using Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry” – Our Work Featured by Partnership for Clean Competition

To gain an unfair advantage over competitors, some athletes may resort to sophisticated performance-enhancing drugs that are marketed as “undetectable” in drug tests. However, recent PCC-funded research may soon put the brakes on this behavior with the introduction of methods for anti-doping testing that can detect designer steroids that were previously very difficult or impossible…

Dr. Chouinard Named “2024 Emerging Investigator” by ASMS

In this issue of the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, we are delighted to highlight the work of 19 early career researchers. Their articles comprise the 2024 ASMS “Emerging Investigators” Special Issue and represent a truly global issue with contributors from across the USA, Europe and Australia. The investigators come from a…
