New research article from the Gadkari Group is live on ChemRxiv. In this collaboration with Prof. Sarah Krueger (Mount St. Mary's Univ.), we characterized the interactions between sequence-specific transcription inhibitors and DNA expansions found in neurological disorders.

The Gadkari Group had a great week at #ASMS2025, presenting new work, making new connections, and seeing old friends! Great work by Rowan and Bella! We finished the week with our dept. symposium where Raihana and Pete delivered their milestone talks. I’m so proud of all the hard work on display!

Check out two more great posters from the Gadkari Research Group today at #ASMS2025! Arabella Garcia will present her work using CIU to study glycosylation in biotherapeutics at WP570. Rowan Matney will demosntrate the utility of cyclicIM to perform comformer selective CIU (WP465). Stop by!

Are you at #ASMS2025? Interested in intact and native measurements of large #RNA? Swing by my poster TP346 to see what we’ve been doing in the Gadkari Research Group using Orbitrap-based charge detection mass spectrometry!

In further exciting news, the 1st undergrad researcher in our group, Bella Garcia, received an Undergraduate Student Award from @asms.org. Check out her cool work using IM-MS and CIU to study stressed antibodies at #ASMS2025 in the Undergrad Poster session (Sun) and Protein Therapeutics (Wed).

I am so honored to receive one of the 2025 Research Awards from @asms.org. Lots of credit goes to the amazing researchers in my group at @umnchemistry.bsky.social, and the generous community of mentors, collaborators, and peers who have supported me. Congratulations to my co-awardees as well!

Preprint of our first research article is live! Are you curious about:

How surface induced unfolding can benefit your research?

Reproducibility of gas phase unfolding measurements?

Rowan Matney has worked hard to answer these questions, and more!
