Christina R. Ferreira

Christina R. Ferreira's research uses mass spectrometry-based lipidomics and metabolomics to study fats and related molecules in biological samples, ranging from livestock reproduction and meat quality to brain aging and cancer metabolism. Much of the work applies a technique called Multiple Reaction Monitoring Profiling to measure lipid composition in tissues such as embryos, sperm, brain, and muscle, often in collaboration with animal science and veterinary researchers. This work has practical relevance for improving livestock breeding and health as well as understanding disease-related metabolic changes.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade, fluctuating between about 8 and 16 papers per year with a recent increase in 2025.
