Dr. Caprioli is a Professor of Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University where he serves as the Director of the Mass Spectrometry Research Center. His research interests include investigation of biological processes involving the synthesis, modification, storage and degradation of certain peptides and proteins using modern mass spectrometric methods of analysis to follow molecular events. Modern mass spectrometric techniques are used in these studies, including electrospray and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI).
Dr. Caprioli received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1969.
