Pittcon Announces Keynote Lecture

Utrecht University Professor Albert J. R. Heck to Present

Pittcon 2022 Wallace H. Coulter Keynote Lecturer Prof. Albert J. R. Heck is distinguished professor at the Science Faculty of Utrecht University. His research focuses on the development and applications of mass spectrometry-based proteomics and structural biology. Heck introduced new technologies for phospho-enrichment, the use of stable-isotope-labeling, the use of alternative proteases and hybrid peptide- and protein-centric fragmentation techniques. Heck is also known for his expertise in structural biology, being a pioneer in native- and cross-linking mass spectrometry, and glycoproteomics.

Heck has been coordinating several national and EU-funded proteomics facilities, such as the Netherlands Proteomics Center and Prime-XS. Heck is recipient of numerous awards including the Field & Franklin Award, the Thomson Medal, the Krebs Medal  and Spinoza Award. He is member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences and Arts and EMBO.
