Klaus Biemann (November 2, 1926 – June 2, 2016)[3][4] was an Austrian-American professor of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[5] His work centered on structural analysis in organic and biochemistry. He has been called the "father of organic mass spectrometry"[6] but was particularly noted for his role in advancing protein sequencing with tandem mass spectrometry[7] following pioneering work conducted in this area by Michael Barber.[8]
