Analytica & Humanity

Munich will play host to the 2016 Humanity in Science Award winner – and much more

Joanna Cummings | 03/14/2016

This year sees the 25th incarnation of Analytica in Munich. As well as an array of presentations on hot topics in the analytical sciences, Analytica will also provide a platform for Waseem Asghar, winner of the 2016 Humanity in Science Award to present his prize-winning work: “Development of a new paper and flexible material-based diagnostic biosensing platform that could be used to remotely detect and determine treatment options for HIV, E-coli, Staphylococcus aureas and other bacteria.” We ‘sit down’ with Waseem here.

Here are but a few of the sessions that we have our eyes on:

May 10

10.30. Using mass spectrometry to understand cystic fibrosis as a protein misfolding (John Yates III)
14.30. Towards the comprehensive analysis of metabolome (Thorsten Teutenberg)
16:30. Recent examples for the utility of chromatography, ion mobility, and mass spectrometry in sports drug testing (Mario Thevis)

A former library manager and storyteller, I have wanted to write for magazines since I was six years old, when I used to make my own out of foolscap paper and sellotape and distribute them to my family. Since getting my MSc in Publishing, I’ve worked as a freelance writer and content creator for both digital and print, writing on subjects such as fashion, food, tourism, photography – and the history of Roman toilets. Now I can be found working on The Analytical Scientist, finding the ‘human angle’ to cutting-edge science stories.
