Al Yergey MS Scientist Award

Eduard Denisov, Thermo Fisher Scientific, is one of key people whose hard and creative work over the last two decades was crucial for making Orbitrap mass spectrometry the leading technique in high resolution mass spectrometry. He took leading part in experimental development of all major elements of the Orbitrap technology. Over all these years he remained a reliable, modest and at the same time a very passionate enthusiast of Orbitrap technology, who really cares that every user of this technology is getting the best results.

Jodie Johnson, University of Florida, is so extremely valuable to MSREC, the University of Florida, and the larger MS community. No matter where you are in your MS career, from novice to 20 years of experience, one can learn invaluable knowledge from Dr. Johnson. He is a dedicated mentor and his knowledge is expansive in areas of chromatography and mass spectrometry. He loves to share his knowledge and loves to engage in research discussions.

Amina Woods, NIDA IRP, NIH, has made significant contributions to MS-based science and her dedication to the field of mass spectrometry is amply featured by her record of research, service and teaching. Amina has willingly offered her knowledge through many venues. Biological mass spectrometry became an integral component of her research activities in the early 1990s when she became affiliated with the late Bob Cotter using plasma desorption MS to characterize biological molecules. From then on, mass spectrometry has been at the heart of much of her research portfolio and her community participation in many mass spectrometry organizations including ASMS.
