Linda joins the MSF
Warsaw, Poland – Linda Wangeci Maina joins the Mass Spectrometry Facility (MSF) at The International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB).
Originally from Kenya, Linda studied Analytical Chemistry at the University of Nairobi, where she developed a strong foundation in chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Linda then worked as an analytical chemist and national food safety auditor at the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), where she developed and implemented chromatographic methods for pesticide residue and contaminant analysis using LC- and GC-MS/MS to support food safety monitoring and regulatory compliance for agricultural exports.
During her PhD research in nuclear chemistry at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology in Warsaw, she further expanded her expertise in advanced analytical instrumentation, including mass spectrometry and radiochemical techniques for the analysis of environmental and industrial materials. She also gained experience in the pharmaceutical industry in R&D and as a Quality Assurance Manager. Outside the lab, Linda enjoys challenging mountain climbs that push her limits and test her endurance, and spending time in the gym.
Welcome Linda!
