Matthew J. Keller studies the chemistry of biological membranes and metabolites, focusing on how bacteria process and incorporate different molecules into their membrane lipids. Much of the work uses mass spectrometry (a technique for identifying molecules by their mass) to analyze lipids and metabolites, including how microbes handle synthetic chemicals like polyfluoroalkyl compounds ('forever chemicals') and break down lignin (a component of plant material). The work also includes developing computational tools to improve the accuracy of identifying lipids.
