The Röst lab is interested in understanding biology on a personalized level and to use next-generation mass spectrometry to analyze proteomic and metabolomic data in high-throughput. The main focus of the lab is in peptide and small molecule quantification using next-generation approaches, including data-independent acquisition (DIA or SWATH-MS) and developing novel tools and workflows to be used in the community. We apply these tools to address questions in systems biology and personalized medicine.

The University of Toronto is a vibrant environment providing opportunities to interact and collaborate with research groups across disciplines, which is instrumental in preparing the postdoc for an academic career. Toronto is the 4th largest city in North America and is one of the most liveable cities in the world.
