ACS - DAC DIVISION NEWSLETTER

January 2014

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Welcome back to the Division of Analytical Chemistry for 2014! Your ongoing participation as a member of the division is vitally important to our continued success.

This year we have another outstanding level of programming in support of the two ACS national meetings and the Pittsburgh Conference. Susan Olesik, our 2014 program chair, has been working very hard and effectively on behalf of our members to organize these conference programs. Programming for the Pittsburgh Conference and the Spring ACS meeting has

already been finalized – see details in the newsletter. But there is still time to submit your abstracts for consideration for the Fall meeting in San Francisco. Michelle Bushey, the treasurer of our division, is working on a special project to encourage division members to renew their annual memberships. You should be hearing from her as your membership renewal date approaches. I encourage all members to renew both their ACS annual membership and their affiliation with the Division of Analytical Chemistry. I know that most of us already recognize the importance of making a life-long commitment to supporting our professional community. If you’ve read this far into the newsletter, you are probably already in that camp. We need your help in talking to your colleagues in explaining why you choose to continue being a part of the community, and encouraging them to do the same! Please make a commitment to get one colleague to renew or join in 2014! It will help more than you can imagine. For our part, the

executive committee will continue to work together to bring benefits to our members by providing the support of conferences, awards/recognition, and society volunteer positions that will help you advance your career.

All the best in 2014! – Thom Rossi

PITTCON - CHICAGO, MARCH 2-6, 2014 The Division will be sponsoring six invited symposia as well as an award session on Monday morning and a poster session on Monday afternoon, March 3, 2014.

Awards Symposium: ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award for Young Investigator in Separation Science The Analytical Chemistry Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science was established to recognize and encourage outstanding contributions to the field of separation science by a young chemist or chemical engineer who has earned his or her highest degree within ten years of January 1 of the year of the award.

The 2014 Division Award for Young Investigators in Separation Science will be presented this year to Dr. Michael Roper, Florida State University during the Award Symposium to be held on Wednesday morning, March 5, 2014 in Room S401A. Dr. Roper obtained his B.S.in chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin in 1998. He then received his Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2003 under the supervision of Robert T. Kennedy. From 2003-2006, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Virginia in James Landers' laboratory. He joined the department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University in August 2006 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2011. He is also a member of the Molecular Biophysics program at FSU. His research interests include the development of separation and detection methods for measuring multiple peptides released from islets of Langerhans

Dr. Roper's contributions to separation science include the development of multi-color electrophoretic immunoassays for measurement of glucose-regulating hormones from islets of Langerhans. These automated methods allow high temporal resolution measure-ments of secretion processes, which allow the interactions among these peptides to be observed. The methods are applied to the examination of the dynamic behavior of both individual and groups of islets under in vivo-like conditions. In addition, he has utilized statistical methods to optimize conditions for capillary and microfluidic electrophoretic separations and post-separation sample handling steps.

Executive Board Meeting The Executive Board will meeting on Monday March 3 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm in Room W191. Members will receive materials for the meeting shortly before PITTCON begins.

ACS-DALLAS, MARCH 16-20, 2014 Following quickly on the heels of Pittcon is the Spring National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, to be held this year in Dallas, TX. The Analytical Division will be sponsoring an invited oral symposium, two awards symposia and several oral contributed sessions, as well as a general poster session. The technical program schedule for the meeting will be available on January 20th on the ACS website at http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/spring-2014.html and updates about DAC activities will appear in the March newsletter.
