Lab Personnel
Core Facility Director
Nichole Reisdorph earned her PhD from the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota. She did her post-doctoral work with Gary Suizdak at the Scripps Center for Mass Spectrometry in La Jolla, California. She went on to the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Department of Anesthesiology where she established a proteomics core facility for the Nutrition Center, and directed the Hands-on Proteomics Training Program. Nichole joined NJMRC in July of 2006. Her research activities include the application of mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and proteomics to a wide range of basic and clinical research problems. She has taught over 20 hands-on workshops attended by over 200 participants. Nichole is the Director of Proteomics and Metabolomics training.
Quantitative Proteomics and Genomics
Rick Reisdorph earned his PhD from the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota. He did his post-doctoral work with Peter Vogt at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California. He joined the Department of Immunology at NJMRC in May of 2006. Rick was trained in molecular biology, and focused on molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis while at Scripps. Rick directs the quantitative proteomics efforts in the lab, with a focus on label-free ms-based techniques. He is also establishing the microarray division of the core facility.
Mass Spectrometry-based Metabolomics and Proteomics
Michael Armstrong is a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelors Degree in Biology with a Minor in Chemistry. Previous to working at the CNRU, Michael was a senior analytical chemist at Severn Trent/Core Laboratories for 9 years. His professional interests include mass spectrometry based metabonomics and analytical chemistry. He has a total of 15 years of mass spectrometry and analytical chemistry experience. In addition to his research duties Mike teaches mass spectrometry-based proteomics and metabolomics.
Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics
Roger Powell received his MS in Zoology from the University of Idaho studying fish myogenesis on the cellular level. With over 15 years experience, Roger has worked on projects ranging from bovine embryo cloning to breast and lung cancer at the molecular and cellular levels. His current interest is in mass-spectrometry based proteomics.
Post Doctoral Researcher
Carolyn received her B.A. in Biology from the University of Northern Colorado in 1997. As an undergraduate in the Honors Program, she studied developmental biology and toxicology. In 1999 she joined the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences at Colorado State University and was awarded her Ph.D. in Toxicology in 2004 from the lab of William Hanneman, Ph.D.. Her studies focused on the switch-like induction of cytochrome P450 1A1 due to PCB 126 treatment in liver cell lines. Carolyn then joined the CU Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences as a Postdoctoral Fellow with Dennis Petersen, Ph.D.. While there she studied nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in rats, and was introduced to the world of proteomics and mass spectrometry. Carolyn entered the Reisdorph and Leung labs as a Research Fellow in March 2008. Her research is focused on the proteomics and metabolomics of atopic dermatitis.
