Ying Ge Receives Georges Guiochon Faculty Fellowship at HPLC 2016
The 2016 Guiochon Fellowship was presented to Ying Ge at HPLC 2016 in San Francisco, California.
The 2016 Guiochon Fellowship was presented to Ying Ge at HPLC 2016 in San Francisco, California.
Ge is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Cell and Regenerative Biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She received her B.S. from Peking University in Beijing, China, and her PhD from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, under the joint supervision of Prof. Fred McLafferty and Prof. Tadhg Begley.
Following graduate school, Ge pursued a career in the pharmaceutical industry, starting as a scientist at Wyeth Research, and continuing as a group leader at PPD, Inc. In 2006, Ge joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison as the Director of Mass Spectrometry in the Human Proteomics Program. In 2012, she was appointed as an assistant professor in the Department of Cell and Regenerative Biology and Department of Chemistry. She was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2015.
Ge’s research is highly interdisciplinary, cutting across the traditional boundaries of chemistry, biology, and medicine. By creatively integrating her expertise in mass spectrometry (MS) and proteomics with cardiac biology and medicine, she aims to develop and employ novel top-down MS-based proteomics strategies in conjunction with functional studies to gain new insights into the molecular mechanisms of cardiac disease and regeneration. Her laboratory recently developed a multipronged approach to address the challenges in top-down proteomics in a comprehensive manner. To address the challenge of proteome complexity, her laboratory has been developing novel multidimensional liquid chromatography strategies to separate intact proteins for top-down proteomics.
The Georges Guiochon Faculty Fellowship honors the memory of Georges Guiochon and recognizes his major contributions to HPLC, including his interest in the careers of young people in separations science. The Fellow, selected annually, receives a $15,000 research grant and a commemorative plaque. Eligibility for the award extends to all full-time faculty members at U.S. academic or government institutions who are within 10 years of their first independent research appointments. The fellowship is sponsored by HPLC, Inc.
HPLC 2025 Preview: Fundamentally Speaking (Part 1)
May 13th 2025Michael Lämmerhofer from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tübingen, Germany, spoke to JFK Huber Lecture Award winner of 2024 Torgny Fornstedt, professor in analytical chemistry and leader of the Fundamental Separation Science Group, Karlstad University, Sweden, about his pioneering work in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a focus on fundamentals and industrial applications.
Reversed-Phases for LC Deliberately Doped with Positive Charge: Tips and Tricks for Effective Use
May 13th 2025In this month's edition of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll and his fellow researchers discuss both the benefits (improved peak shape/loading) and challenges (excessive interaction) associated with charge-doped reversed-phase (RP) columns for both analytical and preparative separations.
Determining Ways to Protect Honeybee Colonies with GC–MS
May 13th 2025A study conducted by the Agriculture Research Centre of Giza, Egypt, and Jilin Agricultural University in China, evaluated the efficacy of stinging nettle extract, nettle smoke, and formic acid in the controlling of Varroa mites, a major threat to honeybee colonies, with a focus on mite infestation reduction, honeybee mortality, and biochemical responses. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was used to identify key bioactive compounds in the stinging nettle extract.
