Erin H. Seeley, Ph.D. 
Facility Director
 
Dr. Seeley is the Director of the Mass Spectrometry Imaging Facility.  She has over 20 years of experience in mass spectrometry and analytical techniques, beginning with her undergraduate research at Penn State University.  She completed her Ph.D. at Purdue University under the direction of Dr. Fred Regnier studying comparative proteomic analyses with a focus on phosphoproteomics. 
 
She spent a combined 9 years in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Caprioli (the inventor of MALDI MSI) as a Postdoc and then Associate Director of the Vanderbilt University Tissue Imaging Core, where she worked with a wide variety of sample types and analyte targets in clinical and preclinical imaging studies.  During this time, she developed and streamlined a histology-guided MS profiling workflow for high throughput analysis of clinical samples for diagnostic and prognostic applications.  After leaving Vanderbilt, she worked for 6 years in a CRO setting offering MSI services.
 
Over her career, her main focus has been on clinical applications of mass spectrometry imaging for improving diagnostics and prognostics.  Erin is committed to providing collaborators with high quality mass spectrometry imaging data and advancing the MSI field.
