Meet our Mass Spectrometry Experts
Each MS laboratory is home to academics and principle scientists who are experts in their field.
Dr James Ault, Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry Facility Manager
James heads up the Biomolecluar Mass Spectrometry Facility which houses a number of mass spectrometers for investigating the primary, secondary and quaternary structures of proteins and their biomolecular complexes. We employ non-covalent, ion mobility, HDX, and photochemical approaches in combination with mass spectromery in an effort to understand how the size, shape and conformation of analytes change under different conditions and how these changes relate to disease progression or inhibition. If you are interested in any of these techniques you can contact the Facility directly by email.
Professor Frank Sobott, Chair in Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry
My research focuses on the structural analysis of noncovalently bound, supramolecular systems and functional assemblies of biomolecules.
The group is developing new methods and instrumentation for the analysis of multi-component, heterogeneous and dynamic assemblies based on mass spectrometry, ion mobility and associated techniques.
We apply these tools in a highly interdisciplinary context to research questions from chemistry, biology and medicine.
