Bio

My name is Navid and I am a bioanalytical chemist specializing in LC-MS technology. My PhD training was primarily on targeted LC-MS-based bioanalytical method development, and I used liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for quantitative analysis of small molecules. Post graduation, I received training on intact protein analysis using high resolution mass spectrometers. The latest modality I worked on was oligonucleotides via LC-MS/MS for regulated bioanalysis of siRNA for toxicokinetic study. 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 those entities (what body does to the drug). I am fascinated by "Mass Spectrometers" and where the field evolved 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. Enjoy browsing my page and don't hesitate to reach out to connect with like minded people!
