Birgit Schilling Email & Phone Number

I work at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging as the Director of the Mass Spectrometry Core, and I am interested in complex biological systems and applying modern mass spectrometric methods in the field of Biomedical Research and Proteomics. I am directly involved in a large variety of research projects spanning neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, mitochondrial damage, assessment of protein turnover, differential protein expression during disease/aging, as well as mass spectrometric method development. Several research projects include investigation of protein phosphorylation, glycosylation, lysine acylation and other posttranslational modifications. Many quantitative workflows in the lab take advantage of high resolution data-independent acquisitions (SWATH), and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). I have been involved in co-developing several different bioinformatics workflows and algorithms for mass spectrometric data processing, such as for Skyline.

Listed skills include Proteomics, Protein Chemistry, Mass Spectrometry, Chemistry, and 12 others.
