DC5 co-supervisor

Dr. Michael Morris

Waters (legal name: Micromass UK Ltd.) (WATERS), MS Research , United Kingdom

Mike received his B.Sc. (Hons) in Analytical Chemistry from UMIST, Manchester in 1985, and a Ph.D. in mass spectrometry from the same institution in 1988. He undertook academic positions in Japan (Osaka University), USA (Purdue University) and Canada (National Research Council) before joining Micromass/Waters in the R&D department in 1994.

He founded the Clinical Operations Group in Waters in 1999 and was responsible for the development of applications of mass spectrometry in neonatal screening, therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical toxicology.

He rejoined the mass spectrometry research team in 2010 and maintains a keen interest in the uses of mass spectrometry – particularly in the health sciences.

Mike has been the co-organiser of a number of national and international scientific meetings, has co-authored more than 65 publications, contributed to two Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidance documents and is a named inventor on 24 granted US patents. He is also a Chartered Chemist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (C.Chem., F.R.S.C.), currently sits on the Executive Committee of UK Community for Analytical Measurement Science, is a member of the Advisory Board for the Departments of Chemistry at the Universities of Reading and Manchester, and is a member of the Chemical and Biological Metrology Committee for the UK National Measurement Institute.

“The combination of the techniques of mass spectrometry (MS) and ion mobility (IM) can give great insight into the analysis of complex mixtures, and the structures of the individual components of those mixtures.

The focus of MobiliTraiN is to bring the different approaches that have been used by researchers into a consensus approach from which research teams with less experience can benefit.

It is particularly relevant that the main commercial protagonists of the IM/MS instrumentation are supporting this project across the EU.”
