Université de Genève, Life Sciences Mass Spectrometry
Gérard Hopfgartner, studied chemistry at the University of Geneva and received his Ph.D. degree in 1991 in the field of organic geochemistry and mass spectrometry. He pursued his formation as a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University in the domain of LC-MS/MS atmospheric pressure ionization. Then in 1992 he joined the DMPK Department of F. Hoffmann-La Roche in Basel where he was in charge of the bioanalytical section. Since April 2002 he has been full Professor for analytical sciences and mass spectrometry at the University of Geneva. His scientific interests include the application and the development of novel mass spectrometry approaches with and without chromatography in the field of life sciences in particular, metabolomics, analytical proteomics, Qual-Quant bioanalysis and toxicology.
In analytical sciences one of the major goals is to develop and validate methods for the identification and quantification of molecules in complex samples to support investigations in the (…)
A new weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria
The unreasonable use of antibiotics has pushed bacteria to develop resistance mechanisms to this type of treatment. This phenomenon, known as antibiotic resistance, is now considered by the WHO as one of the greatest threats to health. The lack of treatment against multi-resistant bacteria ... more
Making it easier to differentiate mirror-image molecules
Using a new method, scientists are better able to distinguish between mirror-image substances. This is important amongst others in drug development, because the two variants can cause completely different effects in the human body. Researchers from Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, EPF Lausanne ... more
A Negative Enzyme Yields Positive Results
Chemistry has provided many key tools and techniques to the biological community in the last twenty years. We can now make proteins that Mother Nature never thought of, image unique parts of live cells and even see cells in live animals. This week in ACS Central Science, two research groups ... more
Combinatorial explosion in separation sciences
In analytical sciences one of the major goals is to develop and validate methods for the identification and quantification of molecules in complex samples to support investigations in the pharmaceutical sciences, environmental sciences, food sciences, biology and medicine. more
