John B. Fenn Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry Award Lecture and Al Yergey MS Scientist Award Presentation
An oral session recognizing the John B. Fenn Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry Award winner and the Al Yergey MS Scientist Award winners took place on Monday, June 5th, from 4:45–5:30 pm.
On June 5 at ASMS 2023, there was an oral session recognizing this year’s award winners for their contributions to mass spectrometry.
At 4:45–5:30 pm, an oral session took place that recognized Carol V. Robinson of the University of Oxford for winning the 2023 ASMS John B. Fenn Award for Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry. ASMS President Julia Laskin presided over the session, which opened with the presentation of the Al Yergey MS Scientist Awards. This year’s recipients of the Al Yergey MS Scientist Awards were Eduard Denisov of Thermo Fisher Scientific, Jodie Johnson of the University of Florida, and Amina Woods of the National Institute of Drug Abuse Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Robinson also delivered a talk at the award session. She is most known for developing mass spectrometry methods for the analysis and characterization of membrane proteins. Her work has greatly improved how we understand membrane protein complex structure and what role lipid binding plats in membrane protein function. This has had great impacts on drug discovery and disease mechanisms.

Advancing Bladder Cancer Research with Mass Spectrometry: A FeMS Interview with Marta Relvas-Santos
November 12th 2024LCGC International interviewed FeMS Empowerment Award winner Marta Relvas-Santos on her use of mass spectrometry to identify potential biomarkers and therapies for bladder cancer. She also shared insights on her work with FeMS and advice for fellow scientists.
Pharmaceutical excipients, such as polyethylene glycol-based polymers, must be tested for the presence of ethylene oxide (EtO) and 1,4-dioxane as part of a safety assessment, according to USP Chapter <228>.
