Biography
Marc Plante have been working in the field of analytical chemistry and chromatography for over 25 years, complete with a variety of publications, speeches, webinars, and a wide range of experience. I first earned my B.Sc. in Chemistry with two minors in engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, and then a doctorate in Physical-Organic chemistry at Northeastern University, in Boston. My first employment involved a novel semi-synthetic taxane process, for which I helped developed a chromatographic purification system earning a patent. Over the course of my current career, I have largely worked with small-molecule chromatography, with much of my more creative work involving the Corona Charged Aerosol Detector. At ESA, Dionex, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, I created application notes and posters, gave many presentations, and wrote a couple of book chapters. I also enjoyed providing some ideas for improving the detector's capabilities. I am currently employed as a Senior Scientist at a pharmaceutical CRO, Boston Analytical, in Salem, New Hampshire.
