Emerging HRMS & LC-MS/MS Applications in Environmental Analysis & Food Safety – The 19th Annual Workshop is September 24-25, 2023, at the Center for Tomorrow, University at Buffalo (UB).
GenTech Scientific is pleased to sponsor and participate in this annual event, held this year in Buffalo, New York.
Last Friday, GenTech CCO Yvette Pagano spoke to Dr. Diana Aga, Woodburn Professor of Chemistry at UB, where this year’s event is hosted. Dr. Aga is a UB faculty expert with expertise in environmental pollution and emerging contaminants, including pharmaceuticals and PBDEs. She is the founder of ALERT (Aga Laboratory for Environmental Research & Testing) at the University at Buffalo, and an organizer of this year’s Workshop.
Workshop Topics
Topics addressed in this year’s Workshop include:
- Advances in HRMS instrumentation and their applications in environmental and food analysis
- Applications of ion mobility mass spectrometry
- Non-target analysis and bioinformatics in LC-HRMS
- HRMS and LC/MS-MS applications in exposome research and wastewater-based epidemiology for public health
- Fate, transport, treatment, and effects of emerging contaminants
