Robert C Murphy graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a PhD in chemistry and he is currently a University Distinguished Professor at the University of Colorado. He has worked in the area of mass spectrometry and eicosanoid biochemistry for approximately 40 years with much of his research activities centered on the use of mass spectrometry to studies of arachidonic acid biochemistry and formation of the biologically active leukotriene mediators. His interests also include the structural characterizaton of bioactive lipid products derived from the reaction of reactive oxygen species with cellular lipids. Over 400 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals and several books concerning mass spectrometry of lipids have been authored by him. See less
