Renowned separations science expert Milos Novotny, PhD, has joined Protein Discovery’s scientific advisory board. Protein Discovery will call upon Professor Novotny’s deep knowledge of electrophoretic and chromatographic separations as the company continues to develop and commercialize sample preparation systems for mass spectrometry. “Protein Discovery has commercialized electrophoretic sample preparation in a unique and immediately useful way,” said Professor Novotny. “The work the company is doing with parallel sample preparation systems is critical to the progress of proteomics,” he added. Welcoming Milos Novotny to the scientific advisory board, Protein Discovery president and chief executive officer Chuck Witkowski said, “Professor Novotny’s specific experience developing high-resolution, high-sensitivity analytical systems is an incredible resource to our R&D program. Our customers are the ones who will benefit most from his intellectual and practical contributions.” Milos Novotny, PhD holds the title of distinguished professor at Indiana University’s Department of Chemistry, where he is also the Lilly Chemistry Alumni Chair and an adjunct professor of medicine at the same university. Professor Novotny is the director of the Institute for Pheromone Research and of the National Center for Glycomics and Glycoproteomics. His current research is focused on improving the resolution of complex biological mixtures and mass-spectrometry based methods of glycoprotein analysis. Professor Novotny has received dozens of awards acknowledging his contributions to scientific discovery and teaching. Recently, he has received the Dal Nogare Award for Excellence in Separation Science, and the American Chemical Society Award in Analytical Chemistry.
