Speaker: Adam Rosebrock, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pathology, Member, Stony Brook Cancer Center
Title: Enabling Biochemical "Big-Data" With Mass Spectrometry Metabolomics
Time: Wednesday, 3pm—4pm
Location: Atkins Center – HSC Level 4 (Radiology)
Bio/Abstract: Dr. Adam Rosebrock is an assistant professor in the Department of Pathology and a member of the Cancer Center at Stony Brook School of Medicine. Dr. Rosebrock has a longstanding interest in leveraging big data to address fundamental biological challenges. His group is using a combination of mass spectrometry metabolomics, genetics, and big data analytical techniques to build a quantitative understanding of the biochemical wiring of cells across diverse cellular states. Dr. Rosebrock will discuss how his lab is leveraging patterns of metabolic response to identify and understand regulation of pathways and how he is linking changes in biochemical phenotype back to genetic regulators.
