DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rena Robinson from the Vanderbilt University will present a
  chemistry-related seminar as part of the Chemistry Department’s ongoing
  Brown & Williamson Seminar Series.\n\nDr. Robinson’s Laboratory uses st
 ate-of-the art proteomics and mass spectrometry technology to further our 
 understanding of aging and age-related diseases. We are particularly inter
 ested in aging, Alzheimer’s disease, and sepsis and the role of the peri
 phery. We are excited to use our technology to understand the molecular ba
 sis of racial and ethnic disparities in aging, Alzheimer’s disease, and 
 sepsis. Our work requires a large number of samples and highly technical m
 ethods to analyze them. To that end, we specialize in developing new and i
 nnovative approaches to analyze proteins using an analytical instrument ca
 lled a mass spectrometer. This instrument can analyze multiple complex bio
 logical tissues at once, and study modified forms of protein within those 
 samples. We are also working on using this approach to study lipids found 
 in human bodily fluids.
