Led by Boone M. Prentice · Chemistry
What we study
The Prentice Lab creates new mass‑spectrometry tools to visualize chemicals inside tissue samples, helping researchers see how molecules change in health and disease. They use imaging, tandem, and liquid‑chromatography mass spectrometry, which are techniques that detect and map tiny molecules directly in organs.
