About
Boone M. Prentice is a leading figure in the field of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), with a particular focus on advancing spatially resolved proteomics. His major contributions center on integrating liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) with imaging workflows, enabling the direct identification of proteins from specific tissue regions. His highly cited 2017 work, "Protein identification in imaging mass spectrometry through spatially targeted liquid micro‐extractions," demonstrated a novel approach using robotic micro-extractions coupled to online liquid chromatography (LC) to generate spatially directed protein identifications—a critical step for linking molecular data to tissue histology. This work has garnered 39 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. Beyond this, Prentice has developed innovative methods for improving the sensitivity and specificity of MSI, including the use of reactive matrices and novel ionization techniques. His research is instrumental in bridging the gap between spatial mapping and molecular identification, with applications in biomarker discovery and disease pathology. A respected educator and collaborator, Prentice continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in imaging mass spectrometry, making him a key voice in the next generation of analytical chemistry.
