Yu receives early career research award
Qing Yu received a research award from the American Society for Mass Spectroscopy. These awards are typically given within the first four years of joining the tenure track or research faculty of a North American university. Yu will receive $35,000 to fund his research.
Yu is an assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biotechnology at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School. His research focuses on understanding the proteotype, the complete interactive set of proteins expressed by an organism or in a cell. Yu and his team seek to unravel the complexities of the proteotype, looking at cellular signaling and other molecular mechanisms.
“I’m deeply honored to receive the ASMS Research Award and grateful to be recognized alongside such an amazing group of scientists,” Lu posted on social media. “It wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible collaborators and mentors I’ve had the privilege to work with. I’m excited to continue pushing the boundaries of mass spectrometry with the support of this incredible community.”
