		Michael J. MacCoss, Ph.D. Mike became interested in biomedical applications of mass spectrometry while working in Dr. Patrick Griffin’s protein mass spectrometry lab at Merck Research Laboratories. He obtained a Ph.D. with Professor Dwight Matthews and pursued a postdoc with Professor John R. Yates III. In 2004 he started the MacCoss lab at the University of Washington and it became obvious that while mass spectrometry data could be collected quickly and robustly, the lack of computational tools for the visualization and analysis of these data was a stumbling block. In 2009 he recruited Brendan MacLean with the goal of developing professional quality software tools for quantitative proteomics. Mike has worked closely with the Skyline development team and our outstanding group of laboratory scientists and collaborators to ensure that our software uses analytical approaches that have been thoroughly vetted by the mass spectrometry community.
		Brendan MacLean Brendan worked at Microsoft for 8 years in the 1990s where he was a lead developer and development manager for the Visual C++/Developer Studio Project. Since leaving Microsoft, Brendan has been the Vice President of Engineering for Westside Corporation, Director of Engineering for BEA Systems, Inc., Sr. Software Engineer at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and a founding partner of LakKey Software. In this last position he was one of the key programmers responsible for the Computational Proteomics Analysis System (CPAS), made significant contributions to the development of X!Tandem and the Trans Proteomic Pipeline, and created the LabKey Enterprise Pipeline. Since August, 2008 he has worked as a Sr. Software Engineer within the MacCoss lab and been responsible for all aspects of design, development and support in creating the Skyline Targeted Proteomics Environment and its growing worldwide user community.
		Arthur Moseley, Ph.D. Arthur is the Director of the Proteomics and Metabolomics Shared Resource at Duke, and is an Associate Research Professor in the Department of Medicine. He came to Duke to start-up the Proteomics Resource in 2007, after sixteen years managing mass spectrometry labs at GSK. For the last six of those years, he managed the proteomics mass spectrometry labs in the US and UK. Arthur received his PhD in 1990, in the laboratory of Professor Jim Jorgenson at UNC, where his research addressed the coupling of CE and nanoscale LC with mass spectrometry for the analysis of peptides (aka - proteomics before the term proteomics was coined by Marc Wilkens in 1994). Since starting up the lab at Duke, with the assistance of Dr. Will Thompson, he has overseen the lab’s expansion from three instruments to eleven instruments, and the staff expansion from 2 to 11 scientists, including four Research Professors. The Resource supports all basic science departments and clinical science departments in the School of Medicine at Duke, and the resource has completed >1,200 projects for ~200 Principal Investigators. His research interests covers the range from ‘omic discovery to targeted verification, validation and application – with a keen interest in ensuring data quality at each stage via quantitative metrics to facilitate translational studies.
		Lindsay Pino Lindsay Pino is a Ph.D. candidate in the UW Genome Sciences program. Under the joint advisorship of Drs. Michael J. MacCoss and William Stafford Noble, she is investigating how genetic and environmental perturbations alter the yeast proteome by incorporating analytical chemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and machine learning. Her research interest is in high dimensional mass spectrometry proteomics, which combines her formal undergraduate training in biochemistry and molecular biology with her high-throughput ‘omics post-bacc experience and her current computational training. Her doctoral thesis work explores potential molecular signatures of longevity in yeast. Before coming to the University of Washington for graduate school, she spent two years in South Korea as a Fulbright scholar and then three years working as a research associate at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
