Clarkson University Graduate Student's Award to Further Research in Sleep Apnea and Heart Disease

Release Date
Wednesday October 18, 2017
Devika Channaveerappa

Clarkson University student Devika Channaveerappa, a master of science and Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Chemistry, has received a travel award from the American Society of Mass Spectrometry to attend its fall workshop in Boston in November.

Devika’s research interests include using the bottom-up proteomics approach to identify the molecular changes occurring in the atria of rats' hearts during obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). She compares the differentially expressed proteins in control rat atria and OSA-induced rat atria. This could help in understanding the complex pattern of changes occurring with OSA, which leads to cardiac disease.

The workshop will focus on top-down mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach. Other topics to be covered include sample preparation, intact protein separation, and bioinformatics and data analysis tools related to mass spectrometry.
