Postdoctoral researcher in the Calabrese lab. I completed my PhD in the Radford and Sobott labs at the University of Leeds where I applied ion mobility mass spectrometry to study alpha-synuclein amyloid assembly. My research goals include the development and application of structural mass spectrometry hybrid techniques including : ion mobility, HDX, XL, FPOP and top-down fragmentation to study intrinsically disordered proteins related to disease. I aim to apply these techniques towards better understanding, detection and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. https://bsky.app/profile/emilyjbyrd.bsky.social [email protected]
Developing nanopipette-enabled native, ion mobility, and top-down mass spectrometry workflows to study intact proteoforms and conformational ensembles of proteins linked to neurodegenerative disease. Two-year outgoing phase based at the University of California, Los Angeles

Professional Internship with Shimadzu Research Laboratory.
Research placement student in Dr Ruth Saunders lab, University Hospitals of Leicester. My roles included primarily cell culture of human airways smooth muscle cells, characterisation using flow cytometry and isolation of mast cells from human ling tissue.
Research placement in Professor David Rueda's single molecule imaging lab, Imperial College London. Optimised the use of the Lumicks Acoustic Force Spectroscopy platform to investigate the mechanical properties of DNA.
