Personal information
Govert Somsen is full professor of Biomolecular Analysis/Analytical Chemistry at VU Amsterdam since 2013. He obtained his doctorate at VU in 1997, and subsequently was assistant and associate professor at the University of Groningen (1996-2001) and at Utrecht University (2001-2012).
Research
Somsen's current research interests include compositional and conformational characterization of intact biomacromolecules, bioactivity screening of compounds in complex samples, and metabolite analysis with particular attention for compound chirality. His group built an internationally recognized expertise in the hyphenation of capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy for the analysis of pharmaceutical proteins. Somsen is (co)author of over 155 peer-reviewed papers and has an H-index of 34 (Nov 2017).
