The College of Science is celebrating a major research advancement thanks to a $530,000 Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The award, led by Dr. Leslie Frost, Dr. Rosalyn Quiñones, and their colleagues, will fund the purchase of an Orbitrap Exploris 240 mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS).
This cutting-edge instrument will be housed in the College of Science and is expected to transform and expand research capabilities across multiple disciplines. With the addition of this powerful analytical tool, Marshall scientists will be able to pursue new avenues of discovery and strengthen collaborations both within the university and beyond.
The addition of the Orbitrap Exploris 240 positions Marshall University as a hub for cutting-edge scientific investigation, supporting faculty, students, and collaborators in pursuing innovative research that benefits both the university and the wider scientific community.
