## What You can Be with a Ph.D. from Yale

> “I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan under Prof. Brandon Ruotolo, developing and performing native mass spectrometry (MS), top-down proteomics, and ion mobility spectrometry.\
> \
> I am interested in applying MS techniques to characterize biologically relevant molecules, like monoclonal antibodies and therapeutic targets. This would hopefully accelerate treatment discovery for many malignancies, like cancer.”

— **Valentina Rangel Angarita** **, Ph.D., Class of 2025**
