Research Interests:
Dr. Fenselau is professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Dr. Fenselaus research interests include biomolecular studies using mass spectrometry, interactions of drugs and proteins, rapid characterization of microorganisms by mass spectrometry, and mechanisms of acquired drug resistance. Dr. Fenselau was one of the first trained mass spectroscopists to take a faculty position in a U.S. medical school.


For More Information:
