Aaron O. Bailey, PhD, Product Manager of Mass Spectrometry Services at BGI Americas
Dr. Aaron Bailey is currently Product Manager of Mass Spectrometry Services at BGI Americas. He began training in mass spectrometry as a technician in the laboratory of Prof. John R. Yates III at The Scripps Research Institute using MuDPIT technology for a variety of cell biology research projects. Dr. Bailey earned his Ph.D. in Cell Biology at the University of Virginia, with the joint mentorship of Prof. Donald F. Hunt and Prof. Daniel R. Foltz, using both classical biochemistry techniques and high-resolution middle-down LC/MS peptide mapping to characterize human centromeric histones variants. Dr. Bailey joined Thermo Fisher Scientific in 2013, where he developed and managed new intact protein characterization workflows, specifically focusing on key technologies for coupling online separations to native MS applications. Currently, Dr. Bailey is responsible for the management and development of the Mass Spectrometry Services portfolio at the newly built MS Service Lab in San Jose, CA, to support high throughput proteomic and biologics characterization services, and continuing to focus on developing new technologies for intact mass measurements of “out-of-reach” complex biologic drugs.
