Kyle Anderson (Fed)

Research Chemist

Kyle Anderson is a NIST Research Chemist and Project Leader for HDX-MS for Biopharmaceutical Analysis and also an Associate Research Professor at the University of Maryland Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR). In addition to using hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to characterize the structural dynamics of biopharmaceuticals, he is active in developing and promoting adoption of state-of-the-art methods for HDX-MS to ensure quality and accelerate development of biotherapeutics and biosimilars. He received the U.S. Department of Commerce Silver Medal in 2021 and Bronze Medal in 2023. He is a member of the International Society of HDX-MS, the Editorial Advisory Board for the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, and the CCQM Protein Analysis Working Group.
