Core C: Personnel
Dr Justin Douglas is responsible for maintenance of the CMLD NMR spectrometer (and other spectrometers on campus) and assists with design, implementation and interpretation of NMR experiments for structure elucidation of compounds. Ben Neuenswander is the primary architect and builder of our high throughput purification capability. As purification core director he is also responsible for the integration of instruments, robotics, and equipment into the workflow as well as designing and programing software for management of sample data. In addition, he serves as an applications specialist in LCMS and chiral chromatography. Patrick Porubsky handles purity analyses and purification of compounds from CMLD researchers and is also responsible for maintaining and servicing LDAP core equipment. Pat also assists in the improvement of the purification process through evaluation and utilization of new techniques. Todd Williams is responsible for overseeing the application of state of the art automated mass spectrometry services to the CMLD. This includes sample analysis, providing an essential complement to NMR efforts in sample identification, validation and characterization.
