Area(s) of Expertise

Using a metabolomic approach, her doctoral work focused on understanding allelopathic interactions in invasive plants and how fungal pathogens can modulate the plant host’s metabolome to escape detection. She has over six years of mass spectrometry and metabolomics experience focused on analyzing small molecules from various plant species. During her time at METRIC, Rebecca has worked on developing methods to quantify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from either water and biological matrices.
