Ana Quintero

 

Biography:

Ana Victoria Quintero received her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Our Lady of the Lake University in 2018. She is pursuing a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at Baylor University. Her research focus is the characterization of isomeric carbohydrates utilizing in-electrospray ionization hydrogen/deuterium exchange-mass spectrometry (in-ESI HDX-MS).

 

Current Area:

Rapid Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange

Ana’s current project is focused on using electrospray ionization (ESI) hydrogen/deuterium exchange-mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to develop a methodology to study the structural characterization of carbohydrates.
