A new part of Marissa’s research involves using a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) instrument. Not only is she looking for the detection of her ligands at concentrations in the micromolar range, but also for the concentration of them within her samples. As the summer progresses, she has been trying to quantify the number of ligands on her gold nanoparticles, and hopefully reach her mineralization experiments. She is also looking forward to attending the Clare Boothe Luce Program Women in STEM Conference that is taking place in a few weeks in Chicago.
