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.

The Mead Group at UNC Wilmington studies the occurrence and transport PFAS in wet and dry depositions, tracing their sources to inform regulators. In the first part of our interview, we spoke with Mead and several members of his team about the work they do for the North Carolina PFAS Testing Network and learn more about the network.

In this final part of our interview with Ezgi Gürler of Females in Mass Spectrometry, we ask about her upcoming research that will occur during her tenure at DESY-CSSB and Uppsala University.

In this second part of our interview with Ezgi Gürler of Females in Mass Spectrometry, we ask about her time at BIOCEV developing advanced fragmentation schemes for non-covalent complexes and Norovirus P-dimer proteins.

In this first roundtable discussion focused on Women in Chromatography, LCGC International spoke with Diane Turner, Jacqueline Hamilton, and Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, who discussed emerging trends in chromatography and useful resources for women in chromatography.

In this first part of our interview with Ezgi Gürler of Females in Mass Spectrometry, we ask about her contributions to developing the glycoconjugate vaccine candidates (ExPEC Next Generation) at Johnson Vaccine and Prevention and the MultiResp RSV vaccine projects in Dalton Lab.

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.
