Carol Robinson is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. Her findings in mass spectrometry have major implications for biomedical research. She developed the first high mass quadrupole time of flight tandem mass spectrometer which has particular significance for unraveling the heterogeneity and polydisperisty of protein complexes. Her recent investigations have shown that it is possible to generate complete subunit interaction maps for heterogeneous protein complexes in advance of their X-ray structures. This together with her demonstration that membrane protein complexes could be released from gas phase micelles opens up whole new fields of investigation.
