Research Focus

The Hendrickson lab develops and innovates mass spectrometry-based techniques to probe cancer and the immune system.  By utilizing modern high resolution mass spectrometry and nanoscale liquid chromatography in conjunction biochemical processing of samples, the lab works to identify, determine the relative abundance and presence of post translational modifications on proteins and protein complexes. The technology is versatile and enables experiments from purified components, cell lysates, tissues and select fluids such as cerebral spinal fluid.
