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.

Study Explores Thin-Film Extraction of Biogenic Amines via HPLC-MS/MS
March 27th 2025Scientists from Tabriz University and the University of Tabriz explored cellulose acetate-UiO-66-COOH as an affordable coating sorbent for thin film extraction of biogenic amines from cheese and alcohol-free beverages using HPLC-MS/MS.
Quantifying Microplastics in Meconium Samples Using Pyrolysis–GC-MS
March 26th 2025Using pyrolysis-gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, scientists from Fudan University and the Putuo District Center for Disease Control and Prevention detected and quantified microplastics in newborn stool samples.
Multi-Step Preparative LC–MS Workflow for Peptide Purification
March 21st 2025This article introduces a multi-step preparative purification workflow for synthetic peptides using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). The process involves optimizing separation conditions, scaling-up, fractionating, and confirming purity and recovery, using a single LC–MS system. High purity and recovery rates for synthetic peptides such as parathormone (PTH) are achieved. The method allows efficient purification and accurate confirmation of peptide synthesis and is suitable for handling complex preparative purification tasks.
