About
The Cologna laboratory at UIC is a mass spectrometry (MS)-based bioanalytical laboratory that works at the intersection of chemistry, molecular biology and human health. Current projects include developing assays to understand proteoform differences in genetic, neurodegenerative disorders, lipid mapping by mass spectrometry imaging in cerebellar degeneration, and protein biomarker discovery by MS. To complement the ongoing projects, members of the laboratory work to develop new methodologies and technologies to improve biomolecule detection by mass spectrometry. The overarching objective of the lab is to identify disease markers from disease specimens, investigate new pharmacological targets in signaling pathways and follow disease progression and therapeutic efficacy.
