Richard S. Johnson
Area of Expertise
Protein mass spectrometry
Current Position
Senior Research Scientist
Degree
Ph.D., Organic Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988
Research Interests
Dr Johnson entered the field of proteomics back when it was called "mass spectrometry" or "protein chemistry".
Initially, he was operating large expensive machines that went "ping", but has since switched to using
small expensive ones that go "whirr". His interests lie in trying to acquire high quality data, and then seeing
if he can make sense of it. He is fond of infectious diseases.
