Chris received his PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin Madison where he developed novel quantitative proteomics approaches in the lab of Joshua Coon. Chris continued his post-doctoral studies in the lab of Steve Gygi at Harvard Medical School where he co-developed TOMAHAQ - a targeted mass spectrometry method that combines sample and peptide multiplexing - and developed the proof-of-principle implementation of real-time search for isobaric label based quantitation. Following his post-doc, Chris joined the Microchemistry, Proteomics & Lipidomics department at Genentech where his group develops and applies leading edge quantitative proteomics methods to explore biological pathways related to potential therapeutic targets. Chris' group also focuses on analysis of low-level proteomes with a special focus on understanding technical challenges of current approaches to single cell proteomics and proposing new methods to analyze such samples.
