Carrie Ann Crot, Ph.D.

Carrie obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2006 working with Dr. Luke Hanley. Her Ph.D. research consisted of surface modification and analysis of synthetic bio-materials to enhance cellular growth. Carrie also utilized x-ray standing wave fluorescence (XSW) to study the conformation of bio-molecules adsorbed at the solid-liquid interface on synthetic bio-materials. Carrie has worked in the RRC Mass Spectrometry Laboratory since 2003 in which she provides accurate mass analysis as well as the analysis of biological samples such as proteins and peptides to researchers campus-wide.
