About
Alfaro Cm is a leading figure in the field of ambient mass spectrometry imaging, with a primary focus on the development and application of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI). Their major contribution lies in advancing this technique, which uses a charged aerosol spray to directly desorb and ionize molecules from surfaces for analysis without sample preparation. In their highly cited 2019 review, Alfaro Cm synthesized the state of the art for DESI-MSI, noting its use in over 730 peer-reviewed manuscripts and highlighting key innovations in instrumentation, spatial resolution, and data analysis. This work has been cited 12 times, reflecting its role as a foundational resource for researchers integrating molecular imaging into fields like biology, medicine, and forensics. Alfaro Cm’s research has been instrumental in expanding the accessibility and utility of ambient ionization methods, enabling label-free, real-time chemical mapping of complex samples. Their achievements underscore a commitment to pushing the boundaries of mass spectrometry, making them a pivotal voice in the ongoing evolution of imaging technologies.
