During the Spring of 2009, I completed a sabbatical semester conducting research in the laboratory of Professor Robert Powers in the Chemistry Department at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. The research focused on the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods in the newly developing field of metabolomics. Metabolomics is the study of the metabolite profile of an organism under varying physiological, nutritional, toxicological, genetic and other conditions. A new computer program was written for the improved analysis of NMR metabolomic data. This work has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in Analytical Biochemistry. I also contributed to the search for a biomarker compound for the early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. A third project involved the development of NMR metabolomic methods for the purpose of providing annotations for genes of unknown function.
