WashU has not only the most beautiful campus but also tremendous analytical resources, including NMR, circular dichroism (CD) and thorough kinds of mass spectrometers like Bruker MaXis Q-Tof, Waters Synapt G2, Thermo Q-Exactive Orbitrap, Thermo EMR, Thermo Linear Ion Trap coupled with Fourier Transformer Analyzer (LTQ-FT), MALDI and Bruker 12T FT-Ion Cyclotron Resonance. The Mass Spectrometry Resource, supported by National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institute of Health (NIH), provides great collaborations from other top academic labs to leading companies such as Genentech and Bristol Myer Squibb. These resources developed my scientific way of thinking but also had perspectives from a larger scope. In addition, I feel so inspired working with Dr. Michael Gross, who provides guidance in research and beyond.
