PECASE Award Presented to Mass Spectrometrist
Michael C. Fitzgerald, Assistant Professor at Duke University, received one of 60 Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Bush on Friday.
The Analytical Chemistry Fundamental Reviews now has four mass spectrometry articles, a 400% increase from a few years ago. The articles are:
Current Application of Mass Spectrometry to Combinatorial Chemistry (Xueheng Cheng and Jill Hochlowski)
Environmental Mass Spectrometry: Emerging Contaminants and Current Issues (Susan D. Richardson)
Mass Spectrometry of Chemical Polymers (Charles N. McEwen and Patricia M. Peacock)
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (Diane Beauchemin)
Tecan’s Integrated Microfluidic System: data and chemistry on the same disk.

The ASMS Quantitation Interest Group will sponsor a workshop during the upcoming ASMS conference. The meeting will take place in Grand VI at lunchtime (12:15-1:30) on Thursday, 6 June. In addition, a short business meeting of the interest group will follow the talk.
The workshop will feature a talk on Mad Cow Disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, BSE) and related forms of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) given by Dr. Jacques Grassi of the Commissariat √ɬ† l’Energie Atomique (CEA) in Saclay, France (see brief abstract below). Dr. Grassi has been involved with the field of TSE diagnosis since 1996. He and his co-workers have developed a test for post-mortem diagnosis that was favorably evaluated by the European Commission in May 1999, and is widely used for systematic testing of cattle in slaughterhouses in Europe and Canada.
Title: Progress in Understanding BSE
Speaker: Dr. Jacques Grassi
Association: CEA, Saclay, FranceAbstract: We have developed tests that have been for the diagnosis of BSE that are being used in the framework of epidemiological studies, as well as for the systematic testing of cattle at slaughterhouse. Following a brief overview on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), I will try to demonstrate how these tests allowed to improve the protection of consumers, the mad cow epidemic in Europe and its consequences in terms of public health as well as in economic terms.
FYI: An overview about BSE can be found on the issue of C&E; News of April 9, 2001 on Page 24.
