Brief Bio:
Lee Parsons has over a decade of experience in handling computational proteomics, metabolomics, and genomics data. Dr. Parsons works specifically with proteomics and metabolomics research here at MSI, with PIs across the University and beyond. His work at MSI has included quantitative proteomics, untargeted biomarker searches (both in the protein / peptide and small molecule realms), and quantitative metabolomics. He is also available for consultations and leads regular workshops at MSI on processing biological mass spectrometry data.
