Bio
Hi there! My name is Navid and I am a bioanalytical chemist specializing in LC-MS technology. I did my undergrad and graduate studies in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Bioanalytical Chemistry during which I was trained on LC-MS-based analysis of small molecules. Next, I learned macromolecule analysis using LC-MS and CZE-MS during my postdoctoral and industry tenure. I have been using chromatography, mass spectrometry, and automation for about a decade to study what happens at the molecular level when a disease develops and when it's intervened by a 'drug' or 'drug' like entity. I am fascinated by "Mass Spectrometers" and where the field evolved in the last decade. Progress ceases when curiosity wears out. There is no end to learning and I feel fortunate to always find learning new things exciting. Thanks for taking the time to visit my page!
