K. Biemann, THE MASSACHUSETTS-INSTITUTE-OF-TECHNOLOGY MASS-SPECTROMETRY SCHOOL, Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 5(5), 1994, pp. 332-338
The events that led to the establishment of organic and biochemical ma
ss spectrometry at MIT by the author in 1958, and its growth over the
past three and one-half decades are briefly chronicled. A major emphas
is is placed on the work with graduate students and postdoctoral resea
rchers who were educated in the field and in turn further contributed
to the training of others. An attempt is made at the construction of a
genealogy encompassing - 7 to + 2 generations (the author representin
