Title: Flow Field-Flow Fractionation and Mass Spectrometry for Direct Lipid Analysis of Extracellular vesicles
Myeong Hee Moon earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Yonsei University (1987) and a Ph.D. from the University of Utah (1991) under Prof. Calvin J. Giddings. He began his academic career at Kangnung National University in 1994 and joined Yonsei University in 2003. His research centers on developing innovative methodologies in flow field-flow fractionation for the characterization of bio-macromolecules. Notable contributions include advancements in FFF channel systems such as frit-inlet asymmetrical flow FFF, hollow fiber flow FFF, and multidimensional separation techniques integrating isoelectric focusing and flow FFF for protein separation. He also pioneered miniaturizing flow FFF channel to hyphenate with ESI-MS/MS for direct lipid analysis of biomacromolecules. He served as the president of the Korean Society of Mass Spectrometry, the vice-president of the Korean Chemical Society, Executive Committee of the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation, and the Committee Chair of the International Symposium on Field and Flow-Based Separation.
