Biography

Ronghu Wu is an Associate Professor at the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research is primarily focused on mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, where he develops innovative methods for the global identification and quantification of proteins and their post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as glycosylation and phosphorylation. These modifications are crucial to understanding biological systems, as aberrant protein expression and modification are directly linked to human diseases, including cystic fibrosis, cancer, and infectious diseases. His lab aims to create novel analytical methods that significantly advance the understanding of protein functions and to identify proteins modified by PTMs as effective drug targets and biomarkers for early disease detection.
