About
Christina R. Ferreira is a pioneering analytical chemist whose research sits at the intersection of mass spectrometry, high-throughput screening, and ambient ionization techniques. Her work has significantly advanced the application of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) in both chemical discovery and surface analysis, establishing her as a key figure in accelerating the pace of organic reaction screening. Ferreira's most impactful contributions include the development of automated, high-throughput screening platforms that harness the unique chemistry of microdroplets to rapidly evaluate thousands of organic reactions in a single day. Her 2020 hardware and software implementation study (52 citations) and complementary work on reductive amination screening (39 citations) demonstrate how robotic liquid handling combined with DESI-MS can dramatically streamline pharmaceutical and synthetic chemistry workflows. These innovations offer researchers a powerful toolkit for optimizing reaction conditions with unprecedented efficiency. Her 2019 review of DESI-MS imaging (12 citations) further highlights her breadth of expertise, synthesizing advances across a technique featured in over 730 peer-reviewed publications. Collectively, Ferreira's contributions are reshaping how chemists approach reaction discovery, making her work essential reading for anyone interested in modern analytical and synthetic chemistry.
