Research Summary
The Gadkari Research Group seeks to bridge the gap between analytical and biological chemistry to make previously inaccessible biomolecular structural measurements. We develop innovative mass spectrometry-based structural biology techniques to make measurements of natively prepared nucleic acids, proteins, and their complexes. The group is particularly focused on studying these biomolecules in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, an area with the potential for high societal impact.
