*             Location: *Genomics Auditorium 1102


*Abstract:*
Biological tissues and environmental microbiomes represent a complex
mixture of interacting cells with diverse physiologies and functional
capacities. Little is known about the molecular niches within tissues or
the exchanges that occur within multi-kingdom systems, since measuring the
composition within single cells and cell clusters is a major technical
challenge. Spatially resolved mass spectrometry and mass spectrometry
imaging (MSI) techniques have the ability to elucidate the distribution and
location of molecules in an in situ fashion. My team has developed novel
MSI instrumentation and methods to explore and map the metabolome and more
in plant (and human) tissues, as well as environmental microbiomes. These
technologies have helped us reveal metabolic processes responsible from a
range of areas including disease progression to molecular changes that
regulate global biogeochemical cycles.
