During early drug discovery, the study of metabolism plays an essential role in determining which drug candidates move forward into development and later stages. Current methods for analysis to identify metabolic soft spots are through LC/MSn interpretation. The main challenge in this work has always been the structure elucidation of metabolites, and there have been a number of strategies developed to address these difficulties. Typically, the use of data dependent scanning has been the primary mode of data acquisition for structure elucidation, but in the past several years the use of MSe or All Ions Fragment (AIF) acquisition has become more prominent. Here we present a computational routine that automatically analyzes MSe/AIF data for LC/MSn based drug metabolism studies.

A Computational Model of Mood and Future Prospects

Poster

Mood disorders are characterized by changes in reaction to positive events, but studies examining mood in gambling have suggested these changes may not be different from control. Interrogating mood changes with a computational model may give insight into disorders like depression.

Knockout of microRNAs Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System with Paired Synthetic crRNAs

Poster

We utilized paired synthetic crRNAs coupled with our synthetic tracrRNA in cells transduced with lentiviral Cas9 to perform a functional knockout on hsa-miR-221. This three-part system (crRNA, tracrRNA and Cas9) has demonstrated efficient gene editing when used with only one guide RNA, but the goal was to use two crRNAs to remove the entire stem-loop.
