The Purdue Research Foundation is spotlighting National Academy of Inventors fellows at Purdue whose collaborative, multidisciplinary research is translated into real-world technologies that benefit society. And this week the highlighted faculty member is J. Paul Robinson, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Cytometry and SVM Professor of Cytomics in the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Basic Medical Sciences, who holds a joint appointment as professor of biomedical engineering in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and serves as director of the Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories.
Dr. Robinson is renowned for his pioneering contributions to cytomics, spectral flow cytometry, and high-throughput cellular analysis. His team invented spectral flow cytometry, the basis of all current commercial instruments and considered one of the most significant technologies in the field of single-cell biological detection using fluorescence.
Dr. Robinson was named as a NAI Fellow in 2022. The NAI Fellows Program celebrates academic inventors whose work spans multiple disciplines and exemplifies their collaboration, dedication and innovation to transform research into real-world commercial technologies that contribute to the betterment of society.
“Purdue has a great record of encouragement and entrepreneurship. Support from Purdue Research Park has been a critical component to our success,” Dr. Robinson said. Election as a NAI fellow is the highest professional distinction awarded to academic inventors.
