Simone Sidoli is Winner of the 2022 EAS Young Investigator Award
Simone Sidoli
Simone Sidoli, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and the Einstein Proteomics Core, has been named the winner of the 2022 the Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) Young Investigator Award. He will be presented with the award on November 15, In an award session at EAS in Plainsboro, New Jersey.
Sidoli earned his PhD while working in Ole N. Jensen’s group at the University of Southern Denmark where he developed methods for analyzing the crosstalk between histone post-translational modifications. In 2014, he joined Benjamin A. Garcia’s laboratory within the Epigenetics Institute at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). During this time, he applied his mass spectrometry methods to link cell signaling cascade (protein phosphorylation) with chromatin changes (histone modifications). These methods include improvements in quantification accuracy of histone codes, enhancement of throughput, quantification of chromatin accessibility, and multi-omics data integration.
Sidoli has been a member of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) and the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO). He has co-authored approximately 120 scientific publications, mostly in the field of proteomics and chromatin biology.
Each year, the Eastern Analytical Symposium honors analytical chemists who have distinguished career achievements. The recipients of these awards advanced these fields by superior work in developing theory, techniques, or instrumentation.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Reliable Separation and Efficient Group-type Quantitation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs)
September 11th 2024Petroleum contamination from leaking underground storage tanks, for example, is a significant concern for both the environment and human health. Thorough characterization of the contamination is required to form appropriate risk assessments and remediation strategies, but until now, the determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soil has typically involved a convoluted and labour-intensive process. In this article, the analysis of TPH in environmental media is simplified using flow-modulated GC×GC–FID with quantitation based on pre-defined compound groupings. This approach overcomes the drawbacks of conventional solvent fractionation approaches, by eliminating the need for sample fractionation and automating data processing workflows.
The Reality Behind Column Insertion Distance
September 10th 2024Column insertion distance is critical to good chromatography. What happens if the column is installed too low in the injection port? Is insertion distance more important when performing split injection or splitless injection? Does the position of the column in the injection port impact reproducibility?
