Proteome award
Dr Alexander Makarov, Thermo Fisher Scientific director of global research for life sciences mass spectrometry, has received the first HUPO Science and Technology Award from the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) at the HUPO 2011 10th World Congress in Geneva, Switzerland.
Dr Alexander Makarov, Thermo Fisher Scientific director of global research for life sciences mass spectrometry, has received the first HUPO Science and Technology Award from the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) at the HUPO 2011 10th World Congress in Geneva, Switzerland. The award honours Dr Makarov’s principal role in developing the Orbitrap mass analyser.
“We are extremely pleased to see Alexander receive this award, and we are grateful to HUPO for recognizing him in this way,” said Greg Herrema, senior vice president and president, analytical instruments group, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “We are proud of the contributions that Orbitrap mass spectrometers have made to scientific knowledge in proteomics, metabolomics, metabolism and many other fields, and Alexander continues to play an important role in the advancement of Orbitrap technology.”
Dr Makarov, who has authored more than 40 papers and holds more than 40 patents worldwide, first presented the Orbitrap mass analyser in a paper published in 2000. Orbitrap-based mass spectrometers are reported to offer performance that was previously only available from Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometers, enabling more widespread use of ultra-high resolution and high mass accuracy instrumentation.

High-Throughput 4D TIMS Method Accelerates Lipidomics Analysis
April 25th 2024Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) had been previously proposed for untargeted lipidomics analysis, but this updated approach was reported by the authors to reduce run time to 4 min.
