Welcome To The Blair Lab

We are one the member labs within the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET) in the Systems Pharmacology & Translational Therapeutics Department. 

Dr. Blair's laboratory is located on the eighth floor of the Biomedical Research Building II/III on Curie Boulevard in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The laboratory is equipped with four triple quadrupole mass spectrometers (Thermo TSQ Vantage, Thermo TSQ Ultra, Agilent 6460, Agilent 6490) and two high-resolution ion trap mass spectrometers (Thermo Q-Exactive HF Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometers). There is also a full-equipped laboratory for wet-lab experiments, organic synthesis, and cell culture. The availability of this instrumentation allows both quantitative and structural determinations to be performed in our many collaborative projects.

ASMS Conferences

The 57th ASMS Conference was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania May 31st through June 4th, 2009.
