Dr. Peter Nemes' lab at the University of Maryland focuses on developing advanced mass spectrometry techniques to study proteins in cellular environments, particularly related to aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Their work aims to enhance the understanding of how protein compositions change in response to aging and disease conditions using innovative technologies. By utilizing both invertebrate and vertebrate models, the lab strives to make high-sensitivity proteomic analysis feasible for smaller biological samples, which is vital for researching complex biological processes.
