Atmospheric particles influence the climate and harm public health. The research in Professor Hayes’ group seeks to better understand the chemistry of these aerosols, which is necessary to determine their environmental impact. In addition, the group is also interested in the chemistry of mineral surfaces.

- Protein modifications
- Cell signalling
- Analytical chemistry
Our research program focuses on the development and application of proteomics and bioanalytical mass spectrometry to the identification of trace-level proteins in complex cell extracts. Our research efforts bring a multidisciplinary team approach using methods and techniques from bioanalytical chemistry, protein chemistry, biochemistry and cellbiology.
More specifically, our research interests span from the development of cell fractionation methods and protein enrichment techniques for phospho- and glycoproteins to the coupling of multidimensional capillary liquid chromatography to mass spectrometry and its application to the identification of post-translational modifications (sites and stoechiometry). We are also developing chemometric and bioinformatics tools for data mining of peptides in complex protein digests. These different tools are used in proteomics research programs to gain further insights to complex cell biology paradigms such as organelle biogenesis (phagosome and endosome), cell signalling in cancer, and the identification of peptides presented by the major histocompatibility complexproteins.WALDRON, Karen
Professeure titulaire
Professor Waldron’s group uses capillary electrophoresis with laser-based detection and mass spectrometry to identify proteins and peptides of biological importance. The group develops enzyme microreactors and methods for micro-scale sample preparation and separation for applications in environmental and biomolecule analyses.
