I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry at University of Campinas (Brazil), and gained experience in proteomics and mass spectrometry-based structural biology. My current work involves chemical cross-linking applied to biological systems. I’m a mass spec guy to the core, but also into astronomy, sci-fi movies, gaming and, as a good Brazilian, F1 and football - the real one!

I did my PhD in the lab of Petr Novak in Prague in the field of structural mass spectrometry, looking at transcription factor-DNA interactions. I have switched my interest to quantitative proteomics neurological disorders. Apart from playing with the newest mass spec instrumentation and improving methods, I also like reading fantasy books, playing board games, or hiking in the mountains with my family.

I am a Research Associate in the Schriemer lab and my main focus is developing methodologies for the enrichment of cell surface proteins from clinical samples, to identify novel therapeutic targets for CAR T-cell therapy of high-fatality cancers, including Adult Glioblastoma and rare Pediatric Sarcomas.

I am an experienced software developer with a background in Bioinformatics and Computational Modeling at the University of Calgary. I joined the lab of David Schriemer in 2012 as the main designer and contributor behind the Mass Spec Studio. Outside of science, I co-founded a couple of tech start-ups and I bring my business and technology experience to the research environment. My life-long drive is to reach into the unknown and search for creative computational solutions to hard problems in science.

I am a software developer with a background in molecular biology and biochemistry. Prior to joining the Schriemer lab, I was part of a team which developed a brain-computer interface quadcopter controller. Concurrently, I worked as a web developer for a start up company. I have additional skills in data science, computer vision, and automotive data systems. As a member of Schriemer lab, I am focused on developing efficient and effective data analysis pipelines in the MassSpecStudio.

I spent many years in the proteomics facility using state of the art instrumentation for protein identification and characterization. However, more recently my focus has shifted to both protein expression and using HDX-MS methods for routine interaction mapping.

My name is Andrew Michael. I am a PhD candidate, developing strategies to study protein interaction networks through in situ crosslinking mass spectrometry with a focus on the non-homologous end joining DNA double-strand break repair network. I have a passion for cellular biology ever since first learning of cells. I completed my B.Sc. in Cellular Molecular Biology at Mount Royal University in 2018 with a double minor in physics and chemistry. In my spare time I enjoy weightlifting, skiing, wood carving, and mead brewing.
