Projects
The Role of Extracellular Matrix in Tumor Invasion
In Collaboration with Dr. Pepper Schedin we are working to identify components of extracellular matrix that influence cell phenotype.
MS activity assays for tissue transglutaminase
Using MS we can detect the deamindation and cross-linking activity of TG2 in one assay.
MS method developement
We are exploring methods to improve the sequence coverage of ECM proteins.
