Brittney Gorman
Postdoctorate Research Associate
Brittney Gorman is a postdoctoral research associate studying spatial lipidomics involved in human health with the Biogeochemical Transformation team. Her work includes the integration of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) with other imaging modalities including secondary ion mass spectrometry and fluorescence microscopy. She applies these approaches to investigate the spatial lipidomics and metabolomics in the kidneys and lungs and track changes that occur during disease.
