Ryan Kelly received his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Brigham Young University (BYU) in 2005 and spent the next 13 years at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. He joined the Chemistry faculty of BYU as an Associate Professor in 2018. A central theme of Dr. Kelly’s research has been the development of new technological solutions for ultrasensitive biochemical analyses. He has developed ultra-low-flow electrospray ionization sources, improved MS ion optics and custom separations based on nanoflow liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. Dr. Kelly’s efforts have recently focused on single-cell, spatial and other low-input MS-based proteomic analyses. His team developed the nanoPOTS workflow, which enables in-depth profiling of protein expression from single cells and makes possible high-resolution proteome imaging of tissues. His research continues to focus on improvements in sensitivity, throughput and quantification for single-cell proteomics and other sample-limited analyses. Dr. Kelly has authored or coauthored more than 100 publications and is a named inventor on several patents that have been licensed and commercialized by companies including Bruker, Cellenion and MicrOmics Technologies. His work has been recognized with several awards including R&D 100 awards, the Georges Guiochon HPLC Faculty Fellowship and the HTC Innovation Award.
