After the success of the 1st “Advances in Separation Science: From Extraction to Chromatographic Applications” workshop, Giorgia Purcaro, with the support of Janusz Pawliszyn, is organizing the 2nd edition, which will be held over two days, 28–29 June 2023, in the Espace Senghor at the Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech Campus of the University of Liège, Belgium. The workshop aims to gather together top experts from academia and industry to discuss the most recent advances in the field of separation science, which includes sample preparation, chromatographic separation, detection systems, and chemometrics. The scientific programme includes plenary lectures from prominent scientists such as Janusz Pawliszyn (University of Waterloo, Canada), Gert Desmet (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium), Luigi Mondello (University of Messina, Italy), Torsten C. Schmidt (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany), Hans-Gerd Janssen (Unilever Research Vlaardingen, Netherlands), and Pierre Giusti (TotalEnergies, France), oral presentations, and poster sessions. Social breaks will contribute to stimulating exchange and networking, supporting the creation of new collaborations.
Two scholarships are available for young scientists to support travel expenses, sponsored by Shimadzu and TotalEnergies.
The deadline for abstracts for oral presentations is 19 May 2023, and the deadline for posters is 1 June 2023. A symbolic registration fee is required to attend the workshop as a commitment guarantee. All information can be found online at the following link: https://lnkd.in/eZ5k5Fxg.
The organizers look forward to welcoming you to a historical and cosy environment that will favour the networking and the fruitful exchange of scientific discussions.
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.
