Solving Problems for the Greater Good

One year on – and just as judges deliberate over the winner for 2016 – we speak with the exceptional runners up from the 2015 Humanity in Science Award.

The Humanity in Science Award – a collaboration between Phenomenex and The Analytical Scientist – recognizes breakthroughs in analytical science that have the potential to improve human lives. In 2015, Peter H. Seeberger and Andreas Seidel-Morgenstern won top prize (read about their project here: tas.txp.to/0216/HISA2015), but they were in excellent company; the judges commended three other teams for their exceptional contribution to the field. Twelve months on (and just ahead of the announcement of the 2016 winners next month), we find out what those teams have been doing since – and ask why ‘humanity’ is such a fundamental part of what they do.

Serge Rudaz & Julie Schappler, (School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Geneva), “Low-cost analytical device based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) for counterfeit drug detection and sub-standard drug quality control.” Read the full nomination here: tas.txp.to/0216/Rudaz

Don Farthing, H. Thomas Karnes, Lynne Gehr, Christine Farthing, Todd Gehr, Terri Larus, & Lei Xi (Virginia Commonwealth University), “Translational research on the use of a rapid analytical methodology for detecting acute cardiac ischemia, at early onset of a heart attack.” Read the full nomination here: tas.txp.to/0216/Farthing

Michael H. Gelb & Frantisek Tureček, (Department of Chemistry, University of Washington, Seattle), “Analytical chemistry in newborn screening.” Read the full nomination here: tas.txp.to/0216/Turecek

The 2016 Humanity in Science Award Winner will be announced in the March issue of The Analytical Scientist, and the award will be presented at a celebration gala dinner at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof in Munich on May 10, during Analytica 2016.

About the Author(s)

Joanna Cummings

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.
