Andrea Gargano is an Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the van't Hoff Institute for Molecular Science, University of Amsterdam and part of the Chemometrics & Advanced Separations Team (https://cast-amsterdam.org/). He received his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Vienna and postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Amsterdam, with guest research across leading separation and mass spectrometry laboratories (e.g., PNNL, Northwestern University, LBNL). The research of his team focuses on advancing high-resolution LC-MS technology, developing microscale and multidimensional separations for macromolecular analysis. He uses separation science to detect molecular structures that MS alone may miss. This includes hyphenated separations for biopharmaceutical and endogenous protein analysis, impurity profiling of oligonucleotides, and synthetic polymer characterization.
