Every year, the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) presents Research Awards, the Research at Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Award, and Postdoctoral Career Development Awards.
Kelly Marie Hines of the University of Georgia, Jesse Meyer of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Stacy Malaker of Yale University are the recipients of the 2023 ASMS Research Awards. The Research Awards promote the research of academic scientists within the first four years of joining a North American University at the time the award is conferred. The awards of $35000 for each recipient’s proposed research are funded by Bruker, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Waters Corporation, with the award being made to each recipient’s institution. Hines’s work has been funded by Bruker, Meyer’s by Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Malaker’s by Waters.
ASMS also recognizes Erica Jacobs of St. John’s University as the 2023 recipient of the Research at Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) Award. This award promotes academic research in mass spectrometry by faculty members and their students at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). The award is presented annually and is fully supported by Agilent Technologies.
ASMS also annually recognizes scientists with Postdoctoral Career Development Awards, which promote postdoctoral fellows whose professional careers develop in the field of mass spectrometry. These awards include a $5000 prize for recipients. This year’s recipients of the Postdoctoral Career Development Awards are Emma Guiberson of Stanford University, Haiyan Lu of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Melanie Odenkirk of the University of Arizona, Suttipong Suttapitugsakulof Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Yixuan Xie of the Washington University School of Medicine.
All of these awards will be presented during the 71st ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics, which will take place June 4–8 in Houston, Texas.
TD-GC–MS and IDMS Sample Prep for CRM to Quantify Decabromodiphenyl Ether in Polystyrene Matrix
April 26th 2024At issue in this study was the certified value of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 209) in a polystyrene matrix CRM relative to its regulated value in the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive.
LC–MS/MS-Based System Used to Profile Ceramide Reactions to Diseases
April 26th 2024Scientists from the University of Córdoba in Córdoba, Spain recently used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to comprehensively profile human ceramides to determine their reactions to diseases.
High-Throughput 4D TIMS Method Accelerates Lipidomics Analysis
April 25th 2024Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) had been previously proposed for untargeted lipidomics analysis, but this updated approach was reported by the authors to reduce run time to 4 min.
