An oral session recognizing the John B. Fenn Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry Award winner and the Al Yergey MS Scientist Award winners took place on Monday, June 5th, from 4:45–5:30 pm.
On June 5 at ASMS 2023, there was an oral session recognizing this year’s award winners for their contributions to mass spectrometry.
At 4:45–5:30 pm, an oral session took place that recognized Carol V. Robinson of the University of Oxford for winning the 2023 ASMS John B. Fenn Award for Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry. ASMS President Julia Laskin presided over the session, which opened with the presentation of the Al Yergey MS Scientist Awards. This year’s recipients of the Al Yergey MS Scientist Awards were Eduard Denisov of Thermo Fisher Scientific, Jodie Johnson of the University of Florida, and Amina Woods of the National Institute of Drug Abuse Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Robinson also delivered a talk at the award session. She 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.
