Bob Matson, the Mad Inventor

Bob Matson has surfaced in California. He's in Orange, near Disneyland with his wife Jeanne. They have two adult kids Erik (26) and Jacqueline (24). Bob got his PhD in Biochemistry from Wayne State University after receiving a BA and MS in Chemistry from Western. He works for Beckman Coulter, Inc. in Fullerton. They are a major supplier of the medical diagnositic equipment we Boomers will be needing (or are already using.) Bob was inducted into the firm's Inventors Hall of Fame recently with the latest of his 12 inventions. Most of these are related to "miniaturization and multiplexing of DNA and protein diagnostic assays in themicroarray field." He says that future applications include molecular medicine, genomics and proteomics. Got all that?

Way to go Bob!
