Analytical Chemistry
Advances in measurement science are allowing chemists to explore new applications for the vital tools they use in their work. New avenues are being opened up within the diagnostics space, with the potential to revolutionize measurement science. Already, advances in imaging and mass spectrometry are leading to new developments in the fields of blood flow diagnostics and disease diagnosis.
Should you consider incorporating these challenges into your work? How could you apply developing knowledge to help solve the problems we face? And can the way we share research results help accelerate this progress?
Join Professor Andrew deMello and Professor Perdita Barran to find out the answers to these questions, and discuss new approaches to grand challenges in measurement science.
Professor Andrew deMello
Professor of Biochemical Engineering in the Department of Chemistry & Applied Biosciences at ETH Zürich.
Andrew is currently Professor of Biochemical Engineering in the Department of Chemistry & Applied Biosciences at ETH Zürich, and until October 2020 was Head of the Institute for Chemical and Bioengineering. Prior to his arrival in Zurich, he was Professor of Chemical Nanosciences and Head of the Nanostructured Materials and Devices Section in the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London. His research interests cover a broad range of activities in the fields of microfluidics and nanoscale science. Primary interests include the development of microfluidic devices for high-throughput biological and chemical experimentation, ultra-sensitive optical spectroscopies, microfluidic tools for material synthesis and clinical diagnostic technologies
Professor Perdita Barran
Professor of Mass Spectrometry
Professor Barran holds a Chair of Mass Spectrometry in the Department of Chemistry, is Associate Dean for Research Facilities and Director of the Michael Barber Centre for Collaborative Mass Spectrometry at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, The University of Manchester, UK. Her research interests include: Biological mass spectrometry; Instrument and technique development; Protein structure and interactions; Dynamic and Disordered Systems; Parkinson’s disease Diagnostics; HDX-MS; Proteomics; and Molecular modeling. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and was awarded the Theophilus Redwood Award from the RSC in 2019, Researcher of the Year 2020 from the University of Manchester and the ACS Measurement Science Lectureship 2021. In 2020 she initiated the COVID-19 Mass Spectrometry Coalition and was appointed as Chief Advisor to the UK Government on Mass Spectrometry as part of their pandemic response. Perdita has had the privilege to mentor 34 graduate students through the successful completion of their PhD’s. as well as 16 postdoctoral fellows. Perdita has authored over 160 publications in peer reviewed journals which have been cited over 4000 times, by people other than her. In 2021 Perdita founded the company Sebomix Ltd. to exploit sebum as a diagnostic biofluid with a focus on Parkinson’s Disease.
