Chemistry Seminar Announcement for Friday, November 8th, 2024

Kelly (Wormwood) Moser, Ph.D., Customer Success Manager, MOBILion Systems Inc., Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania will present Ion Mobility for Environmental and Pharmaceutical Workflows

Headshot, Kelly Moser

  The need for highly sensitive, reproducible, and specific analyses is well known across nearly all industries. Gold standard technologies for this have typically included liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Over the years, LC-MS technology has advanced dramatically, leading to improved chromatographic separations, faster acquisitions, and higher mass resolution. Despite significant progress, there is still demand for improvement to solve analytical challenges. The emergence of ion mobility (IM) has allowed for continued development and progress in these areas for several applications. This presentation will introduce the different types of ion mobility and their utility in traditional LC-MS workflows. We will focus on the addition of new high resolution ion mobility (HRIM) technology and its application to environmental and pharmaceutical workflows, specifically for analysis of PFAS and peptide therapeutics, respectively. PFAS have a diverse history of applications but only recently have their environmental and toxicological impacts been investigated. Thorough and accurate characterization of PFAS is critical from both a manufacturing and environmental protection perspective. Similarly, peptide therapeutic drugs must be characterized and monitored throughout the drug development process to ensure efficacy and safety. 

Dr. Kelly (Wormwood) Moser earned her PhD in Chemistry from Clarkson University and currently serves as the Customer Success Manager at MOBILion System Inc., a start-up company commercializing the revolutionary SLIM technology out of Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL). While completing her PhD, she served as an Applications Scientist Intern at PNNL in 2017, followed by working as a part-time Applications Scientist until completing her PhD in 2018. After defense, Dr. Moser transitioned to a full-time Applications Scientist where she executed demos and proof of concept studies, collaborating with scientific leaders at pharmaceutical and academic institutions. In 2021, Dr. Moser transitioned to Applications Manager, where she led the applications team. She later shifted her focus to Product Development where she provided scientific guidance, to aid the continued development of MOBILion’s commercial instrument as a Product Development Scientist. She later served as the Software Product Manager, leading development of MOBILion’s data acquisition and processing software. In her current role, Dr. Moser is responsible for ensuring success of all MOBILion Systems customers.
