Peter Nemes is a Hungarian-American chemist, who is active in the fields of bioanalytical chemistry, mass spectrometry, cell/developmental biology, neuroscience, and biochemistry.
His original thesis research was conducted in the Department of Mass Spectrometry at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary.
He also invented and patented laser ablation electrospray ionization (LAESI)4 mass spectrometry for in situ and in vivo analysis4 of tissues and single cells5 2- and 3-dimensional molecular imaging MS6 at ambient conditions for biological samples.
There, he developed capillary electrophoresis ESI MS instruments7 and built a unique matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI–C60 secondary ionization mass spectrometry (SIMS) dual-ion source mass spectrometer8 to enable the analysis of small and large molecules in single cells.9 In 2011, Nemes became a Staff Fellow and then also Laboratory Leader at the US Food and Drug Administration (2011–2013).
