Rozing is widely known and recognized as an outstanding researcher for his work that bridges fundamental science with technical solutions in a commercial environment. He worked in industry for over 30 years, before retiring in 2012 to become a consultant for Agilent Technologies and other organizations. He has authored more than 57 publications and holds six US patents. Gerard also recently devised and presented a successful series of educational webinars on Fundamentals, Optimization and Practical Aspects of UHPLC for LCGC.
In a statement on his personal webpage, Rozing stated: “It is always a great honour to become recognized through an award. But I feel deeply honoured by this award since it is named after Dr Uwe Neue, a contemporary peer with whom I shared a common career pathway in many aspects. I met Uwe the first time some 25 years ago during one of the HPLC symposium series and many times since then. Our encounters were always easy, since we had common roots in Germany. I have been impressed with his ability to maintain his scientific integrity in a for-profit-organization environment where unlike in academia, the science has to compromise with engineering, marketing, finance, sales, and manufacturing functions.”

Linking LC-HRMS Features to Aquatic Toxicity: A Nontargeted Approach Without Compound Identification
July 7th 2025A recent study conducted by the University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the University of Queensland (Queensland, Australia) developed a novel prioritization strategy that directly links fragmentation and chromatographic data to aquatic toxicity categories, bypassing the need for identification of individual compounds. LCGC International spoke to Viktoriia Turkina of the University of Amsterdam, lead author of the paper that resulted from this study, about their work.
Detection and Risk Assessment of Mycotoxins in Commercial Tortillas Using HPLC-Based Methods
July 4th 2025A joint study between Selçuk University (Konya, Turkey) and Hitit University (Corum, Turkey) determined the natural occurrence and concentrations of the mycotoxins ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in commercially available tortillas in Turkey. Contamination levels were quantified using validated analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence or ultraviolet detectors (HPLC-FLD or HPLC–UV).
