The 2020 Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science will be presented to Joe Foley on Wednesday, November 18. He will deliver a talk entitled “Are Two Columns Better than One? What the Hydrophobic Subtraction Model and Other Databases Tell Us.”
Jim Foley, Drexel University
Foley is currently a professor and graduate advisor of chemistry at Drexel University. He earned a BS in chemistry and chemical physics from Center College of Kentucky and his PhD in chemistry from the University of Florida under the guidance of John Dorsey. He conducted research at National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) for two years as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow. While on sabbatical in 2006–2007, he was a visiting professor of chemistry at the University of Frankfurt, and during 2015–2016 he was a visiting Fellow in the Australian Center for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS) at the University of Tasmania in Hobart.
Foley’s research interests are in the fundamental and applied aspects of analytical chemistry and separation science. He has authored or co-authored over 125 articles, book chapters, reviews, and one patent pertaining to pressure- and voltage-driven condensed-phase separations while mentoring four postdocs and visiting scientists, 38 PhD students, 12 MS students, and 23 undergraduates. Foley has also seen many of his equations from his publications appear in undergraduate textbooks and graduate monographs.
Foley has organized and spoken at numerous invited scientific symposia for the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Gordon Research Conferences, the Electrophoresis Society, Pittcon, EAS, and FACSS/SciX conferences. He has also organized and co-taught several short courses for the Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley (CFDV), ACS, and Pittcon.
Foley currently serves on the editorial boards of several respected peer-reviewed journals including Bioanalysis, Chromatographia, Current Chromatography, Electrophoresis, and Separations, having previously served on the boards of Analytical Communications, The Analyst, and the Journal of Microcolumn Separations. A long-time ad hoc reviewer for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institute of Health (NIH), Foley is a lifetime member of the CFDV and has twice served as program chair and president.

Inside the Laboratory: The Richardson Group at the University of South Carolina
November 20th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Susan Richardson of the University of South Carolina discusses her laboratory’s work with using electron ionization and chemical ionization with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to detect DBPs in complex environmental matrices, and how her work advances environmental analysis.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
