Rebekah Gundry

Harnessing Glycomics and Glycoproteomics for Cardiovascular Precision Medicine Dr. Gundry completed her PhD at the NSF Middle Atlantic Mass Spectrometry laboratory at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and her postdoctoral work at the NHLBI Proteomics Center in the Division of Cardiology at JHU. She established her independent laboratory at the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2010 and in August 2019 was recruited to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, NE. In addition to her role as Department Vice Chair, she serves as Assistant Chief of Basic and Translational Research for the Division of Cardiology and established and is Director of the CardiOmics Program which is a collaborative group that applies mass spectrometry technologies for advancing basic and translational cardiac research and clinical care. The Gundry lab develops and applies innovative mass spectrometry approaches and bioinformatic tools to study cell surface glycoproteins and glycans to answer outstanding questions in cardiac biology, cardiovascular disease and associated comorbidities. Research in the Gundry lab is funded by the American Heart Association, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and NIH. Rebekah received the inaugural Robert Cotter Young Investigator Award from US Human Proteome Organization in 2013 and is currently Associate Editor of the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology and Co-Chair of HUPO Cardiovascular Initiative.
