Congrats Jess Conforti, Ph.D.!!!

Jess successfully defended her dissertation titled “Deep Proteome Profiling of Methylation in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells.” The past five years, Jess has become an expert in proteomics and database searching algorithms which has resulted in the publications listed below! She has also worked on numerous collaborations, sat on endless amounts of grad school panels, and mentored so many people throughout her PhD. (Stay tuned for her future works!!!) We are truly going to miss her when she leaves Baylor, but can’t wait to see her excel in her next endeavors!

  • Differences in Protein Capture by SP3 and SP4 Demonstrate Mechanistic Insights of Proteomics Cleanup Techniques (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.4c00206)

  • Designing a Comparative Proteomics Experiment: Retention-time Alignment and Imputation Algorithms Affect Statistical Comparisons Between Samples (Preprint DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-br39q)

  • Collab: Gas-phase stability and thermodynamics of ligand-bound, binary complexes of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reveal negative cooperativity (DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04891-5)

Jess has accepted an Analytical Development Scientist position at Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) and we wish her all the best! Sic ‘em Jess!
