Meet James Edwards

Calling: “I’ve always loved solving challenging problems. Therefore, analytical chemistry was a natural fit for me. Developing metabolomic technologies for investigating diabetic complications holds a personal interest as I have juvenile-onset diabetes.”

Emphasis: “Improving metabolite quantitation through novel chemical tagging and separation platforms, and also developing MS compatible vascular mimetic systems.”

Predicton: “Portable mass spectrometry use will be expanded to surgery rooms and onsite forensic/pharmaceutical/food analyses.”

Advice: “There are two reasons to be in the lab: when things are working and when they’re not.”
