Development and validation of ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method to quantify monotropein in blueberries Blueberries (Vaccinium species) are an economically important fruit crop rich in bioactive compounds like polyphenols and flavonoids. Interestingly, some blueberry cultivars also produce monotropein, ...

New protocol published by our group in collab with Dennis Cladis to accurately and efficiently measure monotropein in blueberries! 🫐🫐 One step closer to enhancing the human health benefits if an already super fruit.

As a plant science researcher from a farming family, I found this piece really insightful. It’s a well-articulated look at how industrial agriculture should (can) help feed 10B people while minimizing environmental impact. Efficiency and innovation are key. #AgTech #Sustainability

“Recommended for funding” 🍾

First semester at Virginia Tech in the books! Tired but grateful. Can’t wait for 2024!
