Gainesville, FL, United States
Boone Prentice is Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from Longwood University (Farmville, VA), and completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) under the mentorship of Prof. Scott McLuckey studying gas-phase ion/ion reactions and ion trap instrumentation. He then completed his postdoctoral work in the Department of Biochemistry at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) as an NIH NRSA fellow under the guidance of Prof. Richard Caprioli before joining the faculty at UF in 2018. He was awarded an NIH Focused Technology Research and Development R01 grant in 2020, a JDRF Innovation Award in 2023, an NSF CAREER award in 2024, and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in Chemistry in 2025 to support his research developing gas-phase reactions and imaging mass spectrometry technologies to study the molecular pathology of diabetes, infectious disease, neurodegeneration, and neuropharmacology. He was also awarded the 2022 Young Investigator Award from Eli Lilly and Company, which is an unsolicited award given annually by Eli Lilly’s Analytical Chemistry Academic Contacts Committee to recognize a “rising star” in analytical chemistry. He was highlighted as a 2023 Emerging Investigator by the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, a 2023 Young Investigator in (Bio-)Analytical Chemistry by Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, a 2024 Early Career special selection by the Journal of Mass Spectrometry, and a 2024 Young Scientist Feature by the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry. Boone was also the recipient of the 2023-2024 CLAS Faculty Advising/Mentor Award and the 2024-2025 UF Doctoral Dissertation Advisor/Mentoring Award.
