Save the dates for the Fresenius Lectures 2016/17

The Fresenius-Lectures are lecture series that were implemented in 2011 during the 'International Year of Chemistry'. After the five, very successful lectures in 2011 the GDCh decided to continue the program and to promote modern aspects of analytical chemistry at Universities with at least one lecture per year. The lectures take place in the german speaking part of Europe and include events in Germany, Austira and Switzerland. The lecturers are nominated by the 'Fachgruppe Analytische Chemie' of the GDCh.

SCS, ETH and the DAS are proud to announce two Fresenius-Lectures as follows:

Prof. Frank-Michael Matysik, University of Regensburg
27. Oktober 2016, 16.15h, ETH Zurich, Hönggerberg 
«Electrochemistry – the flexible tool box for the construction of hyphenated instrumental analytical systems»

Prof. Ralf Zimmermann, Universität Rostock and Helmholtz Zentrum München, Germany
12. Januar 2017, 16.15h, ETH Zurich, Hönggerberg
«Anthropogenic aerosols and dusts: Chemical composition, physical properties and biological effects»

Prof. Hopfgartner assigned as new ABC Editor

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (ABC) welcomes four new members in the team of Editors: Hua Cui, Emily Hilder, Gérard Hopfgartner and Adam Woolley!

Gérard Hopfgartner: Professor for Analytical Chemistry and Mass Spectrometry at the University of Geneva, Switzerland;
His research interests focus on the application and development of novel hyphenated mass spectrometry approaches in the field of life sciences.

Hua Cui: Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Science and Technology of China, Anhui, China;
Main research interests: analytical chemiluminescence and electro-chemiluminescence, and their applications in interdisciplinary fields.

Emily Hilder: Director of the Future Industries Institute at the University of South Australia;
Her research focuses on the design and application of new polymeric materials in all areas of analytical science, in particular separation science.

Adam T. Woolley: Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Brigham Young University in Utah, USA;
Overarching theme of his research is the interrelationship between biological molecules and miniaturization.

With their expertise and enthusiasm, we are positive that they will contribute to the growing success of the journal.

GDCh awards Renato Zenobi, ETHZ, the Fresenius Prize 2015

Professor Renato Zenobi, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, has been awarded the Fresenius Prize by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCH, German Chemical Society).

The award recognizes achievements in developing and promoting analytical chemistry. It was presented at the GDCh Wissenschaftsforum 2015 in Dresden, Germany, on September 1, 2015.

Professor Zenobi is honored for his contributions to nanoscale analytics and to combining microscopic and spectroscopic methods with mass spectrometry. His research interests include laser-based analytical chemistry, electrospray and laser-assisted mass spectrometry, ambient mass spectrometry, and near-field optical microscopy and spectroscopy.

Fresenius-Preis
Der Fresenius-Preis wurde im Jahr 1961 von der Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker auf Anregung ihrer Fachgruppe Analytische Chemie gestiftet. Er erinnert an den Geheimen Hofrat Carl Remigius Fresenius (1818–1897), der durch seine wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten, seine Lehrbücher und durch das von ihm gegründete Laboratorium als Mitbegründer der Analytischen Chemie in Deutschland gilt. Er wird in unregelmäßigen Abständen an Wissenschaftler verliehen, die sich „besondere Verdienste um die wissenschaftliche Entwicklung und um die Förderung der Analytischen Chemie erworben haben“. Der Preisträger erhält eine Goldmedaille, eine Urkunde und einen Geldbetrag.
