Research Focus: Intersection of analytical chemistry and chemical biology, with a focus on cancer biology.
Research Key Words: Cancer biology, mass spectrometry imaging, proteomics, drug delivery, chemotherapeutics, 3D cell culture, nutrient restriction
Amanda Hummon earned her AB in chemistry at Cornell University in 1999 with honors. She completed her graduate studies in analytical chemistry at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in the laboratory of Prof. Jonathan V. Sweedler. Her thesis work focused on the development of mass spectrometric and bioinformatic strategies to predict and identify neuropeptides. She received her PhD in 2004. Amanda participated in the annotation of the newly sequenced honey bee genome as a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratories of Prof. Gene E. Robinson and Prof. Sandra L. Rodriguez-Zas at the University of Illinois from 2004-2005. The focus of her research was constructing a methodology to utilize detected gene products to decipher an unannotated genome.
