BIO:

Rob Smith is a scientist and entrepreneur dedicated to saving mass spectrometrists from bad software. He believes computational mass spectrometry is ripe for a revolution that will be catalyzed by advances in interfaces, algorithms, and data management. His recent academic research has focused on assessing the state of the art of computational mass spectrometry by interviewing users and conducting quantitative evaluations made possible through custom-developed technology. In addition to his position as an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Montana, Dr. Smith recently founded Prime Labs, Inc., whose mission is to develop software for mass spectrometry that people actually like.

About the NCI CBIIT Speaker Series:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) Speaker Series presents talks from innovators in the research and informatics communities. The biweekly presentations allow thought leaders to share their work and discuss trends across a diverse set of domains and interests. The goals of the Speaker Series are: to share leading-edge research; to inform the community of new tools, trends, and ideas; to inspire innovation, and to provide a forum from which new collaborations can begin.
