Dr. Ryan Kelly is Awarded Georges Guiochon Faculty Fellowship
March 26, 2019
Dr. Ryan Kelly, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at BYU, has been awarded the 2019 Georges Guiochon Faculty Fellowship.
The fellowship is in honor of Georges Guiochon, a chemist who was “the undisputed master of the theory” in all of chromatography, but especially the field of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The fellowship is awarded annually to one member of a U.S. academic or government institution whose research has shown excellence in fields aligned with liquid phase separation science. The awardee not only has the opportunity to present their research at the annual HPLC symposium (taking place this year in Milan, Italy), but will also be awarded a $15,000 research grant.
Dr. Kelly’s research, which earned him this prestigious award, is largely focused on the development of nanoPOTS (Nanodroplet Processing in One pot for Trace Samples), and its coupling with ultrasensitive nanoLC-MS, enabling identification of more than 3000 protein groups from as few as 10 mammalian cells, a greater depth of coverage than had been previously achieved for 5000 mammalian cells.
Dr. Kelly will present his research at this year’s HPLC symposium in Milan, Italy.
