A professor from the University of Pittsburgh received one of the most distinguished awards at the Pittsburgh Conference on the third day of Pittcon 2008 from New Orleans.
Sanford A. Asher received the Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award, presented by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP). Now in its 51st year, the award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding contributions in the field of spectroscopy.
Allen J Sharkins of The Pittsburgh Conference presided over the symposium, which was arranged by Jane N. Chan, Bechtel Bettis, Inc., and Asher.
After accepting his award, Asher then gave the first presentation of the symposium, entitled "UV Resonance Raman Discovery of GibbsFree Energy Landscape for Protein Alpha Helix Folding."
"We developed a powerful method to follow the evolution of secondary structure in the amide peptide bonds of peptides and proteins."
The session had presenters exclusively from academic institutions, hailing from Syracuse University, University at Albany, SUNY, Northeastern University, and Boston University.
Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
GC–MS Targeted Analysis of PFAS Helps Expand Knowledge of Toxicokinetic Data
March 26th 2024Limited toxicokinetic and toxicologic information is available about a diverse set of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), but methods based on gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) can help unravel some of the mystery.
