An engineer at heart, Jens Huft discovered his passion for biomedical research which led him to pursue graduate studies at the University of British Columbia. He would like to help advance separation science and contribute to health research by developing a high-throughput micro-scale system for the separation of peptides. Passionate about sustainability, he hopes that both technological innovations and re-education of the public will help meet future challenges. When he is not busy in the cleanroom, he delights in "classical" music and greatly enjoys the outdoors and Vancouver's multicultural flair.
