Zachary Goecker (Fed)
Health Scientist
Dr. Goecker works on solving problems in mass spectrometry and proteomics, primarily within the fields of virology and forensic science. His research interests include site-specific glycosylation, forensic serology, forensic proteomics, low-template DNA quantification, and natural products research. Dr. Goecker completed his PhD work at UC Davis under the supervision of Robert Rice and Glendon Parker, where he worked on establishing methods in human identification and ancestral classification from genetic variants within human hair shaft proteins. His current work within the Mass Spectrometry Data Center group involves (1) the evaluation of glycosylation patters on influenza glycoproteins from vaccines and recombinant sources as a means to improve QC measures in biomanufacturing and (2) the discovery of forensically relevant peptide biomarkers in trace evidence for human identification, body fluid classification, and ancestral classification.
