0919

Death, disease and Bronze Age Danes – our September issue explores issues across all corners of analytical science. From visualizing proteins at the atomic level to Vesuvius’ annihilation of Herculaneum and the utility of substructure analysis for metabolic studies, we dive into the advances pushing the field in exciting new directions. Plus, we hear from Michel Nielen, Hans-Gerd Janssen and Chris Elliott about the latest trends in food analysis ahead of RAFA 2019, and (for dessert, if you’ll forgive the pun) we sit down with Alejandro Cifuentes, “father of foodomics.”
