John J. Monaghan is a British mass spectrometrist and former editor of Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry .
Monaghan attended the University of Glasgow,where he completed his undergraduate degree in chemistry. He then undertook a PhD with Durward Cruickshank involving the study of gas-phase electron diffraction. [1] After completing his studies he moved to work at Imperial Chemical Industries in Blackley site under the direction of mass spectrometrist John Beynon focusing on the analysis of textile dyestuffs. He was an early adopter and enthusiast of the Fast Atom Bombardment technique developed at the nearby UMIST by Mickey Barber and Don Sedgwick.[ citation needed ]
Monaghan is an active member of the British Mass Spectrometry Society and has been given life membership for making a significant contribution to the practice of mass spectrometry in the UK. [2] In 2003 the BMSS made John its first President with responsibility to promote the work done by the Society,particularly on the international stage and beyond the core MS community. [3]
Monaghan has also been a member and president of the Peterloo Speakers Club in Manchester. He is also a keen cricketer and football referee. [1]
The thomson is a unit that has appeared infrequently in scientific literature relating to the field of mass spectrometry as a unit of mass-to-charge ratio. The unit was proposed by Cooks and Rockwood naming it in honour of J. J. Thomson who measured the mass-to-charge ratio of electrons and ions.
The American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) is a professional association based in the United States that supports the scientific field of mass spectrometry. As of 2018,the society had approximately 10,000 members primarily from the US,but also from around the world. The society holds a large annual meeting,typically in late May or early June as well as other topical conferences and workshops. The society publishes the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.
Dame Carol Vivien Robinson,is a British chemist and former president of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2018–2020). She was a Royal Society Research Professor and is the Dr Lee's Professor of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry,and a professorial fellow at Exeter College,University of Oxford. She is the first director of the Kavli Institution for Nanoscience Discovery,University of Oxford,and she was previously professor of mass spectrometry at the chemistry department of the University of Cambridge.
Catherine Clarke Fenselau is an American scientist who was the first trained mass spectrometrist on the faculty of an American medical school;she joined Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1968. She specializes in biomedical applications of mass spectrometry. She has been recognized as an outstanding scientist in the field of bioanalytical chemistry because of her work using mass spectrometry to study biomolecules.
Victor Lvovich Talrose was a Russian scientist and mass spectrometrist. He was known as the “Father of Russian Mass Spectrometry”and was the author of 440 articles and 6 monographs.
Michael (Mickey) Barber,FRS was a British chemist and mass spectrometrist,best known for his invention of fast atom bombardment ionisation.
The Aston Medal is awarded by the British Mass Spectrometry Society to individuals who have worked in the United Kingdom and have made outstanding contributions to our understanding of the biological,chemical,engineering,mathematical,medical,or physical sciences relating directly to mass spectrometry. The medal is named after one of Britain's founders of mass spectrometry and 1922 Nobel prize winner Francis William Aston.
The British Mass Spectrometry Society is a registered charity founded in 1964 that encourages participation in every aspect of mass spectrometry. It aims to encourage participation in all aspects of mass spectrometry on the widest basis,to promote knowledge and advancement in the field and to provide a forum for the exchange of views and information. It is committed to ensuring equal opportunities and reflecting the diversity of the society as a whole. The first foundations of the BMSS were laid in 1949 with the establishment of the Mass Spectrometry Panel by the Hydrocarbon Research Group.
