At ASMS 2023, LCGC spoke with Erin Baker of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This segment previews one of several ASMS interviews that were conducted at the conference.
Baker spoke with us at ASMS 2023 in Houston, Texas, briefing us on current research endeavors including using liquid chromatography coupled to ion mobility spectrometry and mass spectrometry (LC–IMS-MS) to detect and study the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and how the two types of spectrometry also help identify different xenobiotics in nontargeted metabolomic studies.
Baker is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.
In this interview clip, Baker answers the following questions:
Our interview with Baker was one of several conducted live at ASMS 2023. Stay tuned for our other interviews conducted at ASMS.
