About the distinction
Dr. Marcel Niehaus has been award MSI innovation price 2019 for his work performed on improved Mass Spectrometry Imaging detection during a PhD and Post-Doc program leaded by Prof. Klaus Dreisewerd. By combining two techniques, transmission mode MALDI and laser-induced post ionisation (MALDI-2), he was able to achieve sub-µm pixel sizes while maintaining high ion abundancies to visualize the distribution of several phospholipids in cells and tissues. This postdoctoral work resulted in the Nature Methods publication that is awarded by the Jury.
