Clarkson University Spring 2024 David A. Walsh‘67 Arts & Sciences Seminar Series Friday, February 2 at 12pm Room: Snell 212 APPLICATIONS OF MASS SPECTROMETRY AT CLARKSON UNIVERSITY This seminar provides an introductory overview of biological applications of mass spectrometry at Clarkson University. Initially, mass spectrometry-based proteomics will be discussed, with a focus on the research projects that are currently underway in the Biochemistry & Proteomics Laboratories. Examples of protein identification and characterization will be provided. Mass spectrometry-based projects that are done by undergraduate students in the Biochemistry & Biotechnology Laboratory (CM470/BY470), in which we investigate foods and drinks, such as milk, yogurt, protein shakes, protein supplements, beer, chocolate, coffee, tea and caffeinated or decaffeinated beverages, as well as various wines or tobacco brands will also be discussed. Costel C. Darie, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science Dr. Darie received his BS and MS in Biochemistry at Al. I. Cuza University Iasi, Romania, and a PhD from Albert-Ludwigs Universitaet, Freibug Germany. After he did postdoctoral work at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and New York University School of Medicine in New York City, he moved to Clarkson University and started the Biochemistry and Preoteomics Laboratories. He started as an Assistant Professor, then was promoted to tenured Associate Professor and then Professor. During his stay at Clarkson, he mentored over 120 lab members, of which over 80 were undergraduate students. The Arts & Sciences Seminar Series is a weekly colloquium series that has been supported by the School of Arts & Sciences Advisory Council at Clarkson University especially through generous gifts from David A. Walsh ‘67. SA&S 300: Arts and Sciences Seminar is a one credit course intended to foster an interdisciplinary outlook in undergraduates majoring in the School of Arts and Sciences.
