The Coblentz Society created the Clara Craver Award to recognize young individuals who have made significant contributions in applied analytical vibrational spectroscopy. The work may include any aspect of infrared (IR), terahertz (THz), or Raman spectroscopy in applied analytical vibrational spectroscopy. This year’s recipient, Ishan Barman, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University with joint appointments in Oncology and Radiology and Radiological Science.

The AES Lifetime Achievement Award is given for exceptional career contributions to the fields of electrophoresis, electrokinetics, and related areas. This year’s recipient, James Landers of the University of Virginia, recently published (along with his colleagues) a paper illustrating a technique for fabricating electrophoretic microdevices for fluorescence detection.

Narangerel Altangerel, Zhenhuan Yi, and Marlan Scully of Texas A&M University recently used TRIP to analyze eight protein–ligand systems. Spectroscopy recently spoke to these three researchers about their findings and what the implications are for high-throughput drug screening. 

Using Thermostable Raman Interaction Profiling (TRIP) For Protein Binding Screening 

Earlier this year, Spectroscopy spoke to Maria Montes-Bayón of the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Oviedo (Asturias, Spain) regarding her work with single cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to study the uptake and apoptotic status of nanoplatinum (IV) treated cells, specifically selenized yeast.

Bruno Pagano, full Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Naples Federico II (Italy), and his team have turned to UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy to better understand these interactions. Spectroscopy spoke to Prof. Pagano about his work and the potential of UVRR spectroscopy as a valuable tool for studying G-quadruplex structures in biologically relevant conditions.

The study of exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system, is becoming increasingly important in space exploration. Scientists are working to characterize these planets and Raman spectroscopy is playing a key role. Andrew Mattioda, a research scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center, is on the front lines of this research.
