LCGC Interviews

Here is some of the most popular content posted on LCGC International this week.

Silvia Radenkovic is a laboratory clinical biochemical genetics fellow at UMC Utrecht, the Netherlands and a member of Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS). She is currently doing a clinical fellowship where she is involved in diagnosing and helping treat patients with inborn metabolic diseases (IMD). Her research focuses on IMD such as congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), omics techniques such as tracer metabolomics, and different disease models.

To honor the conclusion of Women's History Month, we took time to talk with various leading members of Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS) about the importance of this month and their time with FeMS.

In this first roundtable discussion focused on Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke with Diane Turner, Jacqueline Hamilton, and Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, who offered their advice to young women looking to enter the chromatography field.

As part of our Women's History Month coverage, we talked with Iulia Macavei of Evosep about her PhD thesis on mass spectrometry-based proteomics and her role in the Fundrasing Committee for Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS).

In this first roundtable discussion focused on Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke with Diane Turner, Jacqueline Hamilton, and Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay about how the representation of women in chromatography has evolved and what changes still need to be made.

In this first roundtable discussion focused on Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke with Diane Turner, Jacqueline Hamilton, and Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay about what inspired them to pursue a career in chromatography and what challenges they faced along the way.

In this final part of our interview with Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS) Empowerment Award Winner Josephine Ouma, we discuss her future research efforts and what Women's History Month means to her.

In this first roundtable discussion focused on Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke with Diane Turner, Jacqueline Hamilton, and Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, who are all leading voices in the LinkedIn International Women in Chromatography group.

In this second part of our interview with Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS) Empowerment Award Winner Josephine Ouma, we discuss her experience with mass spectrometry and how FeMS has impacted her life.

In this interview, we spoke with Lee Ferguson of Duke University about his laboratory’s work accurately tracing these contaminants in complex environmental matrices.

In this video interview, Luo explains more about his laboratory group’s research, as well as provides an overview about what he talked about at Pittcon during his award symposium. And finally, Luo addresses some of the highlights of Pittcon and what winning the Pittcon Achievement Award means for his research.

In this video interview with Xiao Su, he dives deeper into the research that he and his team are conducting with redox-active polymers and the applicability of electrochemical approaches in separation science.

In this video interview from Pittcon, we ask Christopher Palmer about developing novel polymeric materials for microscale liquid phase separations, as well as some of the current trends and challenges he is observing in chromatography.

In our interview with Kate Perrault Uptmor, we asked her about the resources available for those interested in learning more about multidimensional chromatography, and current trends happening in separation science that are of particular note.

As part of our series on how North Carolina researchers are helping to combat PFAS in the environment, we asked Mei Sun of the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, about her work with the North Carolina PFAS Testing Network, what strategies show the most promise for large-scale environmental cleanup, and how regulations on PFAS are influencing research priorities and mitigation technologies.

Nadia Gadi and Allisson Barros de Souza spoke to LCGC International about their investigation into the application of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (eAOPs) for the efficient removal of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater.
