Brittney Gorman is a postdoctorate RA researching the 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. Through her participation in the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, LungMAP, and the Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP), she has applied these approaches to investigate the spatial lipidomics and metabolomics in the kidneys and lungs and track changes that occur during disease.
