R. Graham Cooks works in analytical chemistry, developing and applying mass spectrometry (a technique for identifying and analyzing molecules based on their mass and charge) to problems in chemistry, biology, and medicine. Much of the recent work focuses on 'microdroplet chemistry' - studying unusual, accelerated chemical reactions that occur in tiny water droplets - as well as new methods for sequencing peptides, detecting disease markers, and rapid chemical analysis outside a lab setting (ambient ionization). The lab also builds and refines mass spectrometry instrumentation and data-analysis approaches.
