ChromSoc Announces 2024 Medal Winners
The UK-based Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc) has announced its two 2024 recipients of its most prestigious honor, the Martin Medal, in addition to three professors who have been chosen for the organization’s Silver Jubilee Medal.
David McCalley of the University of the West of England and Fabrice Gritti of Waters Corporation are receiving the Martin Medal.
McCalley is known as a trailblazer in hydrophilic-interaction chromatography (HILIC) and is a former winner (2008) of the Jubilee Medal. He is the author of the most-cited article in the history of LCGC Europe. Gritti, who has been with Waters Corporation since 2015 following a stint as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tennessee, is also a former Jubilee Medal awardee (2013) and only the fifth industrial chromatographer to be selected to receive the Martin Medal.
Receiving 2024’s Silver Jubilee Medals, so named to celebrate ChromSoc’s 25th anniversary in 1982, are professors Lucie Nováková of Charles University, Kevin Schug of the University of Texas at Arlington, and John Langley of the University of Southampton.
