Research summary
AI-generated

David E. Clemmer works in analytical chemistry, developing and applying methods that separate and identify molecules based on their size, shape, and mass. A central tool in this work is ion mobility mass spectrometry, which is used to study proteins, sugars (glycans and gangliosides), lipids, and larger biological assemblies like viruses and cellular vesicles. The research combines instrument development with applications to biological questions, such as disease-related changes in molecules.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
