A Brief History of the University of Ottawa Mass Spectrometry Centre
The Centre was founded in 1981 under the direction of Professor John L.
Holmes, a prominent scientist in gas-phase ion chemistry research. Over
the years, it has gained a reputation as a first-class analytical
service and fundamental research unit. In May of 1999, Dr. Paul M.
Mayer became the director of the Centre following the retirement of
Prof. Holmes.
Research Projects
Current active research projects in the
Centre range from fundamental studies in ion chemistry to applied
projects in environmental and materials science.
Since it was established, the Centre has had close relations with the
pharmaceutical industry, hospitals and biomedical research groups, and
has been very successful in solving difficult, non-routine analytical
problems. The laboratory also has wide experience in the analysis of
metabolites, the identification and characterisation of peptides,
proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids.
