Biography

David Russell is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University, where he holds the Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex Instruments Professorship in Mass Spectrometry. His research focuses on the development of next-generation techniques in bioanalytical biophysical chemistry, particularly ion mobility mass spectrometry. Russell's work investigates the conformational dynamics of proteins and protein complexes, exploring non-covalent interactions and the controlled Gibbs free energy of various chemical systems. His innovative approaches include developing novel variable-temperature nano-electrospray ionization methods for unprecedented sensitivity and dynamic range in cold and heat-induced chemical process studies. Russell's research has been funded by the NIH, notably through the NIH Resource for Native-MS Guided Structural Biology. His affiliations and collaborations extend across disciplines with chemical-biologists and biochemists, enabling groundbreaking research opportunities. He has been recognized with numerous awards, including the ACS Analytical Chemistry Division Award for Chemical Instrumentation and the Frank H. Field Joe L. Franklin Award for Outstanding Achievement in Mass Spectrometry.
