Gargano and Pirok featured in ‘Top 40 Under 40’ of analytical scientists worldwide

The magazine The Analytical Scientist has published its ‘Top 40 Under 40’, listing analytical science’s rising stars. It featured two analytical chemists of the CAST group at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences: Dr Andrea Gargano and Dr Bob Pirok.

CAST researchers Andrea Gargano and Bob Pirok were featured for the second time in a row in the Top 40 Under 40 by The Analytical Scientists. The magazine has published profiles of all listed scientists, including their analyses of the current state of affairs, their predictions for the future, and their personal mission statements. 

The magazine presents the list as a celebration of ‘analytical science’s rising stars, who will, hopefully, provide the answers to the 21st century’s biggest questions’. It was compiled upon nomination by the readers of the magazine and shortlisting by an independent panel of expert judges.

"Modern separation technology, especially multi-dimensional, has the capabilities to crack many analytical problems in public and private labs. It is unacceptable that you rarely see this stuff applied in routine environments."

Bob Pirok

I think analytical science needs to grow even more into a more multidisciplinary and broader community rather than following a spiral of hyper-specialization.

Novel sequencing approach enables detailed characterization of PLGA co-polymers

CAST Scientst Masashi Serizawas was published in Macromolecules. Masashi presents a ‘polymer sequencing’ approach for analyzing the composition of PLGA copolymers in great detail. The method consists of controlled chemical degradation followed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (RPLC-HRMS) to arrive at an accurate characterisation of block-length distribution. The work provides a robust framework for the rational design of sequence-controlled PLGA for drug delivery and other advanced applications.
