For a young person, turning 18 is a big milestone. In most countries,
this is the age when you are legally recognized as an adult, able to
vote in elections and are eligible for military service. For ...
What does it mean to be the next generation? You don’t have to look far
to find the term “next-generation” or “NextGen” used to describe new
technology. But what does it mean to describe a product or ...
Mass production makes it possible to bring thousands of gadgets to your
home, kitchen and office. The application stores on your mobile devices
have millions of products ranging from analyzing the sto...
As 2020 draws to a close it is a good time to reflect on what has
probably been the strangest year that most of us have ever experienced.
The word ‘unprecedented’ has been worn out by overuse and the ...
Confident interpretation of biological mass spectral data is dependent
on a priori knowledge and high-quality data. That is, knowing what
should be in the sample and being able to extract relevant dat...
In 2013, we changed the paradigm for how our customers were able to
approach their research with the introduction of the first Thermo
Scientific Orbitrap Tribrid Mass Spectrometer (MS). The Orbitrap T...
I sat down with Federico Dall’Acqua, LC-MS specialist at Veritas, to
discuss how Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass analyzer technology is being
used in water and wastewater treatment facilities which se...
Recently, I was applying for a visa to visit India. I had two options –
either I walk my application into the San Francisco Indian Embassy or I
could mail in my application and my passport. The number...
Mass spectrometry is proving to be a powerful tool for proteomics – a
field that’s helping researchers unravel the inner workings of cells,
and could help clinical scientists undertake early diagnosis...
The term personalized medicine has been used for many years, I can
certainly remember it being a buzz word when I started my research
career at the start of the century, and it has been practiced in a...
Just last year, at the 20th Annual Lorne Proteomics Symposium in
Australia, a number of scientists interested in structural proteomics
approached me about Thermo Fisher Scientific’s solution for analy...
After almost a decade of studying and analysing proteins I’ve often
found myself trying to explain to people “Why proteins?” What’s all the
fuss about?I recently came across this video produced for th...
I have heard and read many definitions of what life is, what it means,
what it means to lead a good life, etc. I am really not sure that ‘What
is the meaning of life?’ is itself a meaningful question....
It’s not all about the mass spectrometerWhen discussing proteomics
technology much focus is placed on mass spectrometry, and rightly. As
you may know, I am a lover of mass spectrometry and I enjoy tal...
Understanding the molecular sociology of proteinsAt some point during
our education most of us learn some basic cell biology with cartoons of
cells and organelles in text books, illustrating cellular ...
Is systems-level proteomics ready for a seat at the table with our
genomics colleagues, as a full partner contributing to large-scale
biological research, translational research and personalized medic...
Change is coming. Precise change.2015 was a very interesting year: Human
gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9 (the ethics of which are very much being
debated), effective immunotherapy, two promising vaccine...
I finished my PhD and began my career as an R&D scientist at the start
of the millennium, when proteomics was in its infancy. In those days,
peptide mapping was all the rage as researchers looked to b...
It’s a hard and dangerous life being Santa Claus, especially the night
before Christmas.We have just left behind us that wonderful time of
celebration. And for most of us during this vacation period t...
Proteogenomics, the integration of proteomics with genomics, is an
emerging approach that promises to advance clinical & translational
research. By combining genomic and proteomic information, leading...
Strawberries are well on their way to becoming California’s newest
celebrity as indicated by the two strawberries-related stories that have
been much in the news in California this year. First, there ...
Most of my early research career focused on the post-translational
modifications (PTMs) of proteins and in those days there was only one
worthy PTM in my eyes and that was phosphorylation while glycos...
