Areas of Specialty:
- Lipid and membrane structure and function
- Cellular membranes
- Lipid chemistry and biochemistry
- Lipid changes in plant stress responses
- Lipid analysis by classical and mass spectrometry methods
Area(s) of Specialization:
- Structure and function of cell membranes; Mass-spectrometry-based lipid analysis
Currently we are focused on understanding the function of oxidized and head-group-acylated membrane lipids during plant stress.
The focus of my research program since 2000 has been on the development of a quantitative, high-throughput, mass-spectrometry-based lipid profiling technology and the application of this technology to identify alterations in lipid metabolism that occur as results of signaling events and/or stress responses.
Subject area:
Research:
- Biology – Studies the roles of lipid signaling and lipid metabolism in cancer
Her interests in plant lipids include oxidized lipids, head-group acylated lipids, and just about any usual or unusual complex lipids!
