Jennifer S. Brodbelt is an American chemist known for her research using mass spectrometry to characterize organic compounds, especially biopolymers and proteins.

Education and career[edit]

Brodbelt has an undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia and earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University where she worked on gas phase ion chemistry using mass spectrometry.[1] Following her Ph.D. she was a postdoc at the University of California, Santa Barbara[2] before joining the University of Texas at Austin in 1989.[3] As of 2016, she is the Roland Pettit Centennial Chair in the Department of Chemistry.[4][5]

She was the president of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry for the period of 2014–2016.[6]

Research[edit]

Brodbelt's research centers on the development of mass spectrometry-based methods to characterize organic molecules.[7][8] Brodbelt's early research established methods to use chemical ionization in ion trap mass spectrometers[9][10] and applied this method to the analysis of petroleum samples.[11] She subsequently worked on gas-phase ion chemistry[12] and photodissociation[13] as methods to break apart organic compounds before they are analyzed by a mass spectrometer. Her work has led to the analysis of compounds including recreational drugs,[14][15] sunscreen,[16] and pesticides.[17] Her work also includes investigations into proteins[18] and other organic compounds produced by bacteria including [19][20]

Selected publications[edit]

Awards[edit]

She was awarded the Agnes Fay Morgan Research Award in 1995.[21] In 2019, Brodbelt received the Frank H. Field and Joe L. Franklin Award for Outstanding Achievement in Mass Spectrometry from the American Chemical Society.[22] In 2023, she was named one of the "Mentors and Educators" in the Power List by the Analytical Scientist.[23]
