Bio
My name is Navid J. Ayon and I am a bioanalytical chemist specializing in LC-MS technology. During my PhD, I received extensive training on quantitative small molecule bioanalysis using unit resolution mass spectrometry and reverse phase chromatography. Post graduation, I worked with high resolution mass spectrometry for intact protein analysis. The latest modality I worked with was oligonucleotides (siRNA) using LC-MS. Since 2014, I have been using chromatography, mass spectrometry, and automation to study what happens at the molecular level when a disease develops, when it's intervened by a 'drug' or 'drug' like entity (what drug does to the body) and what happens to them (what body does to the drug). 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!
