The Speaker

Jeff Layne is a Senior Research Scientist at Phenomenex. Mr. Layne is a graduate of California State University Long Beach, where he received his Master of Science degree in Biology. Jeff has been with Phenomenex for over 2 years, starting out as a research assistant and quickly working his way up to senior research scientist, due to his in depth understanding of column chemistry. Jeff is an integral part of the Phenomenex research and development team. Areas of focus include interacting with end-users to determine chromatographic needs, working with product development and support, as well as developing seminars to aid in the understanding of new column technologies and method development.
