Robert Kennedy is the Hobart H Willard Distinguished University Professor at the University of Michigan, where he specializes in Analytical Chemistry and Pharmacology. His research primarily focuses on developing nanoscale analytical techniques for measuring neurotransmitters and hormones in vivo and at single-cell levels. His work includes significant advances in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and liquid chromatography, enabling high-resolution monitoring of neurotransmitter activity and the discovery of novel neurotransmitters. Kennedy's laboratory has been instrumental in pioneering microsensors and fluorescence microscopy to assess the dynamics of endogenous signals like insulin secretion at a millisecond resolution. His extensive contributions to the field encompass directed proteomics, micro-total analytical systems (mu TAS), and multiple collaborative projects aimed at understanding the complex chemical interactions in cellular functions. He has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separations and the Marcel Golay Award. Kennedy holds a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina and has served in esteemed positions such as the Beckman Foundation Young Investigator and the NSF National Young Investigator.
