Bio

My name is Navid, and I am an analytical scientist specializing in LC-MS technology. My PhD training was primarily on targeted LC-MS-based bioanalytical method development, and I employed LC-MS/MS workflows for quantitative analysis of various small molecules. Post graduation, I received training on intact protein analysis using high resolution mass spectrometers. Since 2022, my focus has been biologics and large molecule therapeutics including monoclonal antibodies and oligonucleotides. Since 2014, I have been using chromatography and mass spectrometry 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 those entities (what body does to the drug). I am fascinated by power of "Mass Spectrometers (MS)" and where this field evolved to in the last decade. I firmly believe that progress ceases when curiosity wears out. There is no end to learning and I feel fortunate to always find learning new things exciting. Onward and upward!
