Crowder Laboratory

MBLs - Working with collaborators at Miami and outside of Miami, we are optimizing our machine learning algorithm to better "choose" potential MBL inhibitors. We will continue to maintain the MBLinhibitors.com (https://mblinhibitors.miamioh.edu) website, including adding the new MBL inhibitor predictor algorithm.

Analysis of beer and distilled spirits - We have started a new project in which we are using GC-MS/MS, LC-MS, NMR, and FT-ICR MS to characterize alcoholic beverages in an effort to determine the components in these beverages. The goal is to develop a library of chemical fingerprints of these beverages to be used to authenticate valuable products and to better understand the differences between the brands of these beverages. Recently, we started a project in collaboration with Buffalo Trace and MinedXAI to characterize all 192 barrels in the Single Oak Project (https://www.singleoakproject.com).
