Dr. Emily Chea received her PhD while studying with Professor Dr. Lisa Jones at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Emily is a highly skilled research scientist in the use of LC-MS techniques for proteomics studies. Emily has made significant contributions to the development of FPOP and HRPF with particular emphasis towards in-cell FPOP (IC-FPOP). Emily focuses on utilizing IC-FPOP for proteome-wide structural biology to characterizing cellular drug–target interactions.
