Development and Application of Mass Spectrometry to Pharmacology
The focus of the Schey lab is on the use of mass spectrometry in proteomics and in protein structure determination. The lab is interested in both method/instrument development as well as applications of state-of-the-art technology. Specific projects are focused on lens membrane protein structure in aging and cataractogenesis, shrimp & oyster innate immunity, and tandem mass spectrometry of intact proteins. These areas of emphasis involve proteomics studies of the human lens and shrimp/oyster tissues as well as determination of posttranslational modifications, and protein-protein interactions. Other areas of application include studies of signal transduction complexes, ocular proteomics (in glaucoma and retinal neovascularization), and cardiovascular proteomics.
