About

Abigail Moreno-Pedraza is an innovative researcher working at the intersection of mass spectrometry instrumentation, laboratory automation, and open-source scientific tool development. Her work focuses primarily on ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AIMS) — a powerful analytical approach that enables the study of biological systems in their native state without extensive sample preparation. Moreno-Pedraza has made particularly notable contributions through the development of accessible, community-driven laboratory technologies, most prominently the Open LabBot and RmsiGUI platform, a robotic sampling and imaging system built from RepRap 3D-printer components that has garnered nearly 40 citations across related publications. This work democratizes sophisticated mass spectrometry imaging capabilities by lowering cost and technical barriers for research laboratories worldwide. Her 2022 contribution on 3D printing for accelerating innovation cycles in AIMS further underscores her commitment to open hardware and rapid prototyping as engines of scientific progress. By championing the "build, share, and remix" philosophy, Moreno-Pedraza has positioned herself as a forward-thinking advocate for reproducible, community-centered instrumentation development — an increasingly vital perspective as analytical chemistry seeks broader accessibility and collaborative advancement.
