The award honors the memory of John B. Fenn, who shared the 2002 Nobel Prize for developing electrospray ionization. The award is conferred at the ASMS Annual Conference with the presentation of a $10,000 cash award, a recognition plaque, and an award lecture.
Dr. Robinson is most known for developing mass spectrometry methods for the analysis and characterization of membrane proteins. Her work has greatly improved how we understand membrane protein complex structure and what role lipid binding plats in membrane protein function. This has had great impacts on drug discovery and disease mechanisms. Most notably, Robinson has:
Robinson’s achievements have also been recognized on a global scale. In 2013, for her services to science, she was elevated to the title of “Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE)”. Despite her achievements, Robinson remains dedicated to explaining protocol and giving advice to the research community, making sure that others can implement her methods as well and opening the field of mass spectrometry to many more researchers around the world.
