Dr. McComb is a Research Associate Professor of Biochemistry at Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine (BUSM), is the Director of the NHLBI Cardiovascular Proteomics Center (CPC) Core Research Laboratory at BUSM and is a Faculty Member of the BUSM Center for Biomedical Mass Spectrometry (CBMS). Dr. McComb has authored/co-authored more than 50 peer-review publications, reviews and textbook chapters and has over 200 conference proceedings including many as invited speaker. Dr. McComb has served as a panel member on several National committees, has served on several NIH peer review study sections and is an expert reviewer for NIH, NCI and other organizations. Dr. McComb is an active member of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) whose mission is to characterize the human proteome. Dr. McComb’s research aims are directed towards the identification and characterization of differentially expressed proteins and differentially observed peptides and post-translational modifications (PTMs) associated with human disease. His laboratory focuses on applying mass spectrometry and proteomics technologies for the identification and characterization of proteins which may be perturbed by disease with the aim to identify patterns of changes in order to gain a global comprehensive understanding of disease progression. Identification of specific proteins and PTMs which change as a function of disease will lead to the development of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers which will have tremendous clinical utility. Specific biomedical applications of research include cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, systemic amyloidosis, prion diseases, and cardiovascular disease.
