Research summary
AI-generated

Miranda R. Weigand's research focuses on developing mass spectrometry imaging techniques, particularly nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI), to visualize lipids, drugs, and sugar molecules (glycans) directly within biological tissue samples. This work helps distinguish molecules that have the same mass but different structures (isomers), which is useful for studying disease processes such as drug-induced liver injury. Prospective students would likely work on analytical method development combining chemistry instrumentation with biological tissue analysis.
