Harsha Gunawardena

Harsha obtained his Ph.D. from Purdue University where his research focused on advanced multi-source ion traps to facilitate the manipulation biological ions. He developed fragmentation models to study ion-ion reaction mechanism of electron transfer dissociation. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Lineberger comprehensive cancer center, at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where his research focused on quantitative proteomics at scale. He was a co-investigator for the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) and ENCODE consortium. His research interests include, high-throughput analysis, droplet reactions and proteomics technology development. Currently he leads the Proteomics group at J&J.
