Jose A Paulino was born in the Dominican Republic in 1963. There, he grew up and attended high school at Loyola Polytechnic Institute, graduating with top honors with an associate degree in Agronomy. After graduation, in 1981, he migrated to New York City, USA in search of a better future. He spent one and a half year learning the English language before going to the State University of New York at Oswego, New York to continue his education in 1982. There, he majored in Chemistry and graduate at the top of his class in 1985 with a Bachelor of Science, Suma Cum Laude. After graduation, he taught General Chemistry for one semester while waiting to start graduate school. For graduate school he attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. He joined Professor Robert Squires’ research group in the Chemistry Department. His research focus was the determination of thermochemical and kinetic properties of reactive intermediates using gas phase ion/molecule reaction. In the course of this research, he developed specialized mass spectrometry instrumentation and published several papers in such journals as the Journal of the American Chemical Society. He graduated in 1992 with a Doctorate in Physical-Organic Chemistry. Then, he moved to the state of New Jersey where he still resides. He started his industry career at Exxon Corporation and then went into pharmaceuticals Analytical Chemistry research and development. Over more than 15 years he has worked at various pharmaceutical companies with increasing responsibilities in the area of Analytical Chemistry research and development.

Evaluation of Charged Aerosol Detector for Purity Assessment of Protein(Link)

Journal of Chromatography A

February 4, 2013

Commercially available protein reference standard materials are widely used for the quantitation of intact proteins in biopharmaceuticals, food, and consumer products. However, the purity of protein reference standard materials are often assumed to be 100% or they may be assigned an inaccurate value because the methods used to determine protein purity often lack specificity and accuracy.
