Abstract
Professor Jean-François Muller, a distinguished figure in the field of mass spectrometry, made significant contributions to the advancement of analytical chemistry and its applications. As the founding director of the Laboratory of Mass Spectrometry and Laser Chemistry at the University of Metz, Muller played a pivotal role in establishing Metz as a leading center for mass spectrometry research. His pioneering work, particularly in the development of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) instrumentation and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass Spectrometry (FTICR MS), has had a profound impact on various scientific disciplines. This article commemorates Professor Muller's illustrious career and highlights his collaborative efforts with industrial partners such as Total, which led to groundbreaking advancements in MS analysis. I will delve into the key findings of my thesis which focused on instrumental developments for MALDI analysis and imaging, as well as personal reminiscences and the impact of his inspiring mentorship.
jean - franois Muller教授是质谱领域的杰出人物,为分析化学及其应用的发展做出了重大贡献。作为梅斯大学质谱和激光化学实验室的创始主任,穆勒在将梅斯建立为质谱研究的领先中心方面发挥了关键作用。他的开创性工作,特别是在基质辅助激光解吸/电离(MALDI)仪器和傅立叶变换离子回旋共振质谱(FTICR MS)的发展,对各个科学学科产生了深远的影响。这篇文章纪念了Muller教授杰出的职业生涯,并强调了他与Total等工业合作伙伴的合作努力,这导致了MS分析的突破性进展。我将深入研究我的论文的主要发现,重点是MALDI分析和成像的工具发展,以及个人回忆和他鼓舞人心的指导的影响。
期刊介绍:
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry is a journal whose aim is the rapid publication of original research results and ideas on all aspects of the science of gas-phase ions; it covers all the associated scientific disciplines. There is no formal limit on paper length ("rapid" is not synonymous with "brief"), but papers should be of a length that is commensurate with the importance and complexity of the results being reported. Contributions may be theoretical or practical in nature; they may deal with methods, techniques and applications, or with the interpretation of results; they may cover any area in science that depends directly on measurements made upon gaseous ions or that is associated with such measurements.
