About the Author(s)
Marcus Lippold
Marcus Lippold, an economist by training, was born in Bremen, Germany (where he remains). “Actually, I started out as singer and songwriter in a band and wrote over 100 hundred German-language songs,” he says. Marcus also worked for eight years as a researcher at the University of Bremen, focusing on intellectual property rights and organization in the biotech and pharma industry. “In 2003, I founded [iito] Business Intelligence for the life sciences market,” says Marcus, “And in 2010, [iito] launched the business web portal Mass-Spec-Capital.com, dedicated to the worldwide mass spec industry, with two further life sciences web portals following suit”.
Rich Whitworth
Rich Whitworth completed his studies in medical biochemistry at the University of Leicester, UK, in 1998. To cut a long story short, he escaped to Tokyo to spend five years working for the largest English language publisher in Japan. "Carving out a career in the megalopolis that is Tokyo changed my outlook forever. When seeing life through such a kaleidoscopic lens, it's hard not to get truly caught up in the moment." On returning to the UK, after a few false starts with grey, corporate publishers, Rich was snapped up by Texere Publishing, where he spearheaded the editorial development of The Analytical Scientist. "I feel honored to be part of the close-knit team that forged The Analytical Scientist – we've created a very fresh and forward-thinking publication." Rich is now also Content Director of Texere Publishing, the company behind The Analytical Scientist.
