Baker Lab UNC
@bakerlabms.bsky.social
Research group at UNC-Chapel Hill under the direction of Dr. Erin S. Baker & focused on ion mobility-mass spectrometry research for biological and environmental systems.
We are so proud of our undergraduate students, Sarah and Quentin, for showcasing their research during our Measurement Science Friday seminar series this afternoon!! These two are amazing! Who knew PFAS and lipids could be so cool? 😉
