Josh Coon Receives Distinguished Achievement in Proteomic Sciences Award

This award given by the Human Proteome Organization recognizes a scientist for distinguished scientific achievements in the field of proteomic science.
In 2004 Coon co-invented Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD) and throughout his career has pioneered development and application of ETD with ~ 100 publications on ETD alone. By allowing chemists and biologists to probe previously inaccessible regions of the proteome, ETD offers a unique lens through which to study proteins. Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM). In 2012Coon described PRM where the third quadrupole of low-resolution QqQ system is substituted with a high resolution/accurate mass analyzer to permit the parallel detection of all target product ions in one high resolution mass analysis. That manuscript alone has received over 1,200 citations.  Instrumentation for Coupling MS and CryoEM. In 2022 Coon pioneered the coupling of native MSwith CryoEM to revolutionize protein structural analysis. His team described new instrumentation that allowed them to solve the first 3D structure of a protein-protein complex that had been ionized, vaporized, mass analyzed, and landed using MS.
