March 2002 Meeting

"New Advances in Proteomics"
Symposium and Poster Session

Followed by the Annual CSSC Csaba Horvath Medal Presentation Dinner
 Honoring Dr. William Hancock

The reception and dinner will be held about six blocks away at the Omni Hotel on New Haven Green.  There is an additional cost of $50 (full participants), while Emeritus and Students pay $25.00. Dinner will consist of your choice of either Broiled Salmon, Chicken Francese or a Vegetarian Entree.

Please inform others whom you feel would be interested in attending this special dinner.

Note:  You must register separately for both the symposium and dinner.

The poster content should describe practical applications of separation science in an academic, vendor, pharmaceutical, industrial or environmental disciplines. Final poster size must be no larger than 4’x 4’ to fit on the pegged board. (Stands, Boards and Pins will be provided). Abstracts for your Poster needed not be submitted ahead of time, however pre-registration is required so that the number of poster can be planned for!

Please submit the following:
Title:
Author(s) name:
Institution:

 (When registering, the main author should include Telephone number and e-mail address)

Dr. John Chant is Head of Proteomics at CuraGen, Inc. in New Haven, CT. He completed a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with Honors at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver and a Ph.D. in Genetics at the University of California, San Francisco, CA.  After two Post-Docs, from 1993-2001 he was first an Assistant and then Associate Professor in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, Cambridge before joining CuraGen in 2001.  He has published over 30 scientific papers on topics of genetics, genomics, immunology, cell and molecular biology.  Several of his recent papers have appeared in Science.

 Dr. David Han received a Ph.D. in Genetics at the George Washington University, Washington D.C in 1994. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington, Seattle from 1995-1999, and he was trained in Genomics, Proteomics, and Molecular Pathology under Drs. Lee Hood and Ruedi Aebersold. In 1999, he became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biotechnology, headed by Dr. Lee Hood. He was recruited to the University of Connecticut Health Center as an Assistant Professor, and currently he is the Director of the Proteomics and Biological Mass Spectrometry Center. His training under Dr. Ruedi Aebersold and contributions to the field of proteomics include quantitative analysis of membrane proteins using isotope coded affinity tags. Currently, he has two NIH grants to utilize proteomic and bioinformatic tools to understand human diseases.

Dr. Leo E. Bonilla is Proteomics Field Marketing Specialist at ThermoFinnigan. In 1996 he a Ph.D. from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.  Thesis project involved the structural analysis of immunologically active bacterial lipopeptides using LC-MS/MS.  Post-doctoral experience was under Dr. Stephen S. Hecht at the University of Minnesota Cancer Research Center where the mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis by tobacco-specific nitrosamines (i.e., DNA and protein adducts) were probed by both GC- and LC-MS/MS.  Following that he worked at Cargill Inc. conducting research in the area of metabolic engineering and biotechnology. Currently he works for ThermoFinnigan Corporation conducting collaborative research in Proteomics at the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Development at the University of Minnesota.

Dr. William S. Hancock is Vice President for Proteomics Development at ThermoFinnigan, San Jose, CA.  He received a B.Sc. followed by a Ph.D. in Organic and Biochemistry from the University of Adelaide, South Australia.  In 1993, his scientific accomplished were recognized by the granting of a D.Sc. by the University of Adelaide.  For a number of years he was on the faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry of Massey University, New Zealand.  After coming to the U.S., he was a visiting scientist at the Bureau of Drugs, FDA in Washington D.C., then Director of Analytical Chemistry at Genentech, Inc., Principal Laboratory Scientist at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories before joining ThemoFinnigan in 2000. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Yale, University.   Dr. Hancock is the President of the California Separation Science Council (CASSC), on the Permanent Scientific Committee for HPCE Symposium Series, is and has been a member of 12 journal Boards. He has over 160 scientific publications, 34 review chapters, 7 books and 9 patents.  He has recently agreed to be the senior editor of the new American Chemical Society's publication, J. of Proteome Research.
