Helen Whitby, Ph.D.

Bioseparations Specialist at Phenomenex

My name is Dr Helen Whitby and I have been with Phenomenex since 2007. I am a senior technical specialist working in our technical department and specialize in Bioseparations and bulk and preparative chromatography. Before joining the technical department in 2017 I worked for 10 years in the UK sales team as the bulk and prep specialist and HPLC product manager for the UK sales team.

I have a PhD from the University of Manchester working on analogues of Shikimic acid to treat malaria and prior to joining Phenomenex worked for 12 months in Chicago as a Post-doctoral researcher at the University of Illinois in Chicago on electron-deficient divalent reactive intermediates specifically nitrenium ions for the development of antiviral agents to treat Ebola.
