RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Jenkins obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Georgia. She continued her research at the National Cancer Institute, applying mass spectrometry and biochemical methods to examine the regulation and functional consequences of p53 post-translational modification. Currently, Dr. Jenkins serves as Facility Manager for the Mass Spectrometry Section within the CCR Collaborative Protein Technology Resource. In this capability, she collaborates with CCR researchers by performing mass spectrometry experiments to further investigate critical biological questions.
