Autorenporträt

Professor Robert K Boyd, National Research Council, Institute for National Measurement Standards, Ottawa, Canada Robert Boyd obtained his B Sc and Ph D from St Andrews University. In 1962 he took a post-doctoral fellow position at NRC followed by periods at the University of Toronto & University of Guelph. In 1986 he re-joined the NRC, and since that time has served as adjunct professor at Dalhousie University (1992-2001). Since 2001 he has been Researcher Emeritus at the NRC in Ottawa. Professor Boyd has published over 160 research papers, four book chapters & 10 NRC Technical reports. In 1002 he received the Maxxam Award for Analytical Chemistry and in 2003 the Queen Elizabeth II Gold Jubilee Medal. He is currently Chair of the Science Advisory Board for the Genome Prarie project on enabling technologies for proteomics. And a member of the NSERC Committee for Scientific & Technical review of ISTC proposals. He was an editor for Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry from 1990 - 1997 and from 1997 - 2005 was the journal's Editor-in-Chief. Dr Robert A Bethem, senior VP of the Bioanalytical Group at Alta Analytical Laboratory, CA, USA and Professor Dwight Matthews of the University of Vermont, USA
