Daniel DeBord, PhD, is the Chief Technology Officer for MOBILion Systems, Inc. He leverages his 15 years of experience developing novel analytical instrumentation to address challenges across a range of application spaces. For the past 10 years, DeBord’s work has focused on developing ion mobility technologies, including trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) and structures for lossless ion manipulation (SLIM), and exploring how these new techniques can be coupled to mass spectrometry instruments to access higher performance in fields such as proteomics and biopharma characterization.
