Biography

Prof. Righetti earned his Ph. D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Pavia in 1965. He then spent 3 years as a Post. Doc. at MIT and 1 year at Harvard (Cambridge, Mass, USA). He is now Emeritus Professor at the Milan’s Polytechnic. He is in the Editorial Board of Electrophoresis, J. Proteomics, BioTechniques, Proteomics, Proteomics Clinical Applications. He has co-authored the books Righetti P.G., Stoyanov A., Zhukov M.: The Proteome revisited: Theory and Practice of the Relevant Electrophoretic Steps. Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2001; Hamdan M, Righetti P.G.: Proteomics Today, Wiley-VCH, Hoboken, 2005 and Boschetti E. Righetti P.G. Low-Abundance Proteome Discovery; State of the Art and Protocols, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2013, pp. 1-341. He has developed isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradients, multicompartment electrolyzers with isoelectric membranes, membrane-trapped enzyme reactors, temperature-programmed capillary electrophoresis and combinatorial peptide ligand libraries for detection of the low-abundance proteome. On 560 articles reviewed by the ISI Web of Knowledge (Thomson Reuters) and by Mendeley Statistics, Righetti scores 22.680 citations, with an average of 40 citations/article and with a H-index of 68. During the years 2005-2013 he has received citations ranging from 1000 to 1200 per year. He has won the CaSSS (California Separation Science Society) award (October 2006), and the Csaba Horvath Medal award, presented on April 15, 2008 by the Connecticut Separation Science Council (Yale University). In 2011, he has been nominated honorary member of the Spanish proteomics society and in 2012 he has won the prestigious Beckman award and medal granted in February at the Geneva MSB meeting. In 2014, in October, in Madrid, he has been given the HuPO award for proteomic research and in November, in Atlanta, the American Electrophoresis Society award.
