Meet the Instructor…

Stacy Hanson, Ph.D., is a research specialist with the Analytical Research and Development group in 3M Pharmaceuticals. She did her undergraduate work in chemistry at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, MN and received her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Nebraska. Her graduate work focused on mass spectrometric identification of cataractous human eye lens proteins and their post-translational modifications. She is currently the supervisor of the mass spectrometry laboratory of the Analytical Research and Development group within the Pharmaceuticals Division. Dr. Hanson is a board member and the newsletter editor of the Minnesota Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group. 

Cliff Jacoby, Ph.D., is a Senior Research Specialist at 3M Pharmaceuticals where he is currently the Section Head of the Bioanalytical Chemistry Lab in the Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism department. He has responsibility for the quantitation and metabolite identification for all discovery, pre-clinical and clinical projects within 3M Pharmaceuticals. Cliff received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from the University of Nebraska – Omaha, and his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln at the NSF Midwest Center for Mass Spectrometry. Cliff joined 3M in the Corporate Research Lab where he worked in the Mass Spectrometry Lab for three years. He then joined 3M Pharmaceuticals where he spent four years supervising the Analytical Research and Development Mass Spectrometry Lab. He transferred to the Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism department as the Section Head of the Bioanalytical Lab February of 2000. 

Phil Lyon, Ph.D., is a technical manager with the Analytical Research and Development group in 3M Pharmaceuticals. He did his undergraduate work in chemistry at the University of Nebraska and received a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Minnesota. For five years he served as Assistant Director of the Midwest Center for MS at the University of Nebraska, then as lab manager for an environmental testing firm for two years prior to joining 3M. Phil spent eight years in 3M Corporate Research Labs heading the MS efforts then moved to the Pharmaceuticals Division. The focus of his research and publications are on applications of mass spectrometry to analytical problem solving. Dr. Lyon helped organize the Minnesota Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group.
