Mira Victoria Doig is a British biochemist and analytical chemist known for her contributions to mass spectrometry.
After attending Sittingbourne Girls Grammar School,Diog completed her undergraduate degree in biochemistry at the University of London. In 1981,she completed her doctoral studies in analytical chemistry. [1]
Doig worked in industry starting at Glaxo Wellcome before moving to ABS Laboratories in 1996. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Since 2023,she has worked at Bioapp Solutions, [8] and as the Chief Scientific Officer for MC Analytical. [9] [10]
Doig was chair of the British Mass Spectrometry Society from 2004 to 2006. [2] She was awarded life membership by the Society for her contributions to mass spectrometry. [11]
Robert Graham Cooks is the Henry Bohn Hass Distinguished Professor of Chemistry in the Aston Laboratories for Mass Spectrometry at Purdue University. He is an ISI Highly Cited Chemist,with over 1,000 publications and an H-index of 144.
Scott A. McLuckey is an American chemist,the John A. Leighty Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University. His research concerns the formation of ionized versions of large biomolecules,mass spectrometry of these ions,and ion-ion reactions.
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 founding director of the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery,University of Oxford,and she was previously professor of mass spectrometry at the chemistry department of the University of Cambridge.
Anne Dell is an Australian biochemist specialising in the study of glycomics and the carbohydrate structures that modify proteins. Anne's work could be used to figure out how pathogens such as HIV are able to evade termination by the immune system which could be applied toward understanding how this occurs in fetuses. Her research has also led to the development of higher sensitivity mass spectroscopy techniques which have allowed for the better studying of the structure of carbohydrates. Anne also established GlycoTRIC at Imperial College London,a research center that allows for glycobiology to be better understood in biomedical applications. She is currently Professor of Carbohydrate Biochemistry and Head of the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. Dell's other contributions to the study of Glycobiology are the additions she has made to the textbook "Essentials of Glycobiology" Dell was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours.
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.
Kliti Grice is an Australian chemist and geochemist known for her work in identifying geological and environmental causes for mass extinction events. Her research integrates geological information with data on molecular fossils and their stable carbon,hydrogen and sulfur isotopic compositions to reconstruct details of microbial,fungal and floral inhabitants of modern and ancient aquatic environments and biodiversity hot spots. This information expands our understanding of both the Earth's history and its current physical state,with implications ranging from energy and mineral resource exploration strategies to environmental sustainability encompassing climate dynamics and expected rates,durations and scale of our future planet's health. As one of the youngest women professors in Earth Sciences,she is the founding director of the Western Australian Organic and Isotope Geochemistry Centre (WA-OIGC) and is a Professor of Organic and Isotope Geochemistry at Curtin University in Perth,Western Australia.
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. The first foundations of the BMSS were laid in 1949 with the establishment of the Mass Spectrometry Panel by the Hydrocarbon Research Group.
Kristina Håkansson is an analytical chemist known for her contribution in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry for biomolecular identification and structural characterization.
Vicki Wysocki is an American scientist. She is a professor and an Ohio Eminent Scholar at Ohio State University,and also the director of the Campus Chemical Instrument Center.
Claire Eyers is a British biological mass spectrometrist who is professor of biological mass spectrometry at the University of Liverpool,where she heads up the Centre for Proteome Research. Her research publications list her either as Claire E Haydon or Claire E Eyers.
David Edgar Games was a Welsh chemist best known for his work in mass spectrometry and chromatography.
Alison E Ashcroft is a British chemist and Emeritus Professor of Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry at the University of Leeds. Her work is focused on method development in mass spectrometry to study protein folding and protein aggregation in relation to diseases.
Julia Laskin is the William F. and Patty J. Miller Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Purdue University. Her research is focused on the fundamental understanding of ion-surface collisions,understanding of phenomena underlying chemical analysis of large molecules in complex heterogeneous environments,and the development of new instrumentation and methods in preparative and imaging mass spectrometry.
Lingjun Li is a Professor in the School of Pharmacy and Department of Chemistry at University of Wisconsin-Madison. She develops mass spectrometry based tools to study neuropeptides,peptide hormones and neurotransmitters.
Erin Shammel Baker is an American bioanalytical chemist specializing in developing ion mobility-mass spectrometry hybrid instruments for biological and environmental applications. Baker is an expert in the research of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances analysis.
John J. Monaghan is a British mass spectrometrist and former editor of Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry.
Alan Quayle was a British chemist and mass spectrometrist.
Jane E. Thomas-Oates is a British chemist who is an emeritus professor at the University of York. Her research has considered the development of mass spectrometry for biological applications including proteomics,metabolomics,and glycomics.
The BMSS Medal is awarded by the British Mass Spectrometry Society to individuals who have worked in the United Kingdom and have made sustained contributions by individual members of the British Mass Spectrometry Society to the promotion and advancement of mass spectrometry,primarily within the UK.
