Alexander A. Aksenov, PhD is Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Arome Science, where he leads the company’s scientific vision and metabolomics strategy. He brings deep expertise in analytical chemistry, high-resolution mass spectrometry, ion mobility, and computational metabolomics, with a focus on understanding life at the molecular level.
Dr. Aksenov earned his B.S. from Moscow State University in 1999 and his Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2005, followed by postdoctoral training at Carnegie Mellon University from 2006 to 2008. He also holds an academic appointment in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut, where he leads the Aksenov Research Group.
His work centers on global metabolomics and the exploration of the molecular “dark matter” of living systems: compounds that are present in biological samples but remain unidentified or poorly characterized. His group develops and applies advanced mass spectrometry methods, in situ sampling strategies, and data analysis approaches to extract meaningful chemical information from complex biological systems.
