Dr. Corey Broeckling earned a B.S in Environmental Science from Quincy University, an M.S. in Entomology from Virginia Tech, and a PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology from Colorado State University. He started in metabolomics prior to his PhD, when he worked for three years with Dr. Lloyd Sumner in plant metabolomics. Following his PhD, he became associate director of the Colorado State University Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility, an organization he directs in its new structure as the Bioanalysis and Omics Center of the Analytical Resources Core (ARC-BIO). His research interests center at the intersection of informatics, analytical chemistry, and biology, with a focus on developing mass-spectrometry-based core facility services which are comprehensive, affordable, robust, objective, and broadly applicable. He is currently president of the Colorado Biological Mass Spectrometry Society and serving on the Metabolomics Quality Assurance and Quality Control Consortium (mQACC) coordinating committee.
