Bio

In 2014, Dr. Puchalska obtained her PhD degree from the Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Alcalá (Spain). She joined Dr. Crawford's group in 2015 to exploit the field of mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and lipidomics to study metabolism on a systems level. She joined Division of Molecular Medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School in 2017, where she leads cutting-edge research that utilizes mass spectrometry approaches to reveal essential information regarding the metabolism. Her research focus is to prevent the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is tightly linked to the obesity and Type 2 Diabetes epidemics increasing in prevalence.
