The technologies, lessons, and stories defining innovation in analytical science
Jan 13, 2025
By Lloyd Smith, James Strachan
As a postdoc, Lloyd Smith invented the first automated DNA sequencer – used for sequencing the human genome. Later, he founded a company, Third Wave Technologies, which successfully commercialized molecular diagnostic products. More recently, Smith coined the word "proteoform," which has been wholeheartedly embraced by the proteomics community. So you could say he knows a thing or two about innovation...
