Description
This fellowship opportunity at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) supports postdoctoral research focused on the qualitative and quantitative characterization of clinical analytes using proteomics approaches. Proteomics, a key post-genomic technique, enables comprehensive analysis of proteomes under various physiological and pathological conditions. Due to the complexity of biological proteomes, the research involves advanced bioanalytical techniques such as chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify and measure clinical analytes in biological matrices.
In addition to analyte characterization, the program encourages research aimed at developing protein-based reference standards and generating data to improve measurement quality in proteomics. This work supports clinical proteomics, biochemistry, clinical chemistry, and protein metrology fields.
The research is conducted within the Material Measurement Laboratory, Biomolecular Measurement Division at NIST, located in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
