Prof. Rogatsky serves as the Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Chromatography and Separation Techniques (OMICS publishing group). During the last 10 years (from 2005) he has published over 30 scientific papers in per-reviewed journals (mostly as the first author) and has presented over 50 posters and lectures. Overall, he has made more than a hundred scientific presentations and publications. Eduard completed his M.Sc. in physical chemistry at Belarus State University (former USSR) in 1990. He completed his PhD in bioanalytical chemistry (Bar-Ilan University, Israel) in 1998. At the end of 1999, he started his post-doctorate at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and became a faculty member since 2001 and was a mass spectrometry director at the Biomarker Analytical Resource Core. From October 2015 Dr. Rogatsky is a supervisor of the Chemical Threat Laboratory in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at Wadsworth Center, Albany NY, USA and continue to be an Adjunct Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Jianjun Liu has been studying the mechanisms of TCE-induced hepatotoxicity for several years. She is a doctoral supervisor. She is the director of Key Laboratory of Modern Toxicology of Shenzhen, a division of Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention. She has published more than 60 papers in international and chinese journals and has authorized 3 patents of invention.

Mass Spectrometry, SET-mediated protein phosphorylation in TCE-induced hepatic cytotoxicity

Dr. L Silvestro graduated in Medicine in Turin (Italy) in 1984 and specialized in Pharmacology in 1988. From 1989 he is applying HPLC-MS in quantitation of bioanalytical samples as well as identification of drug metabolites. In 1996 he has co-founded 3S-Pharmacological Consultation & Research GmbH, a consultation company and CRO, in Germany and is still actively involved in the development of innovative analytical methods. From 1998 the company has expanded the activity in East Europe (Romania, Moldavia) creating an analytical laboratory in Romania (Bucharest). In his scientific activity he has contributed to more then 60 articles in international scientific journals.

Pharmacology, HPLC-MS etc.

Bernstein received his Ph.D. degree from Caltech and was a post doctoral fellow at the University of Chicago. He has been at CSU since 1975 where he has studied molecular crystal vibrational and electronic excitons and phase transitions, cryogenic liquids, and gas phase clusters with a central focus on intermolecular interactions. Recently his research has focused on chemical reactions of neutral and ionic clusters. This latter research area has involved catalytic and photocatalytic cluster systems, solute/solvent systems, the reactions of ionized molecules and clusters, and initial steps in the release of stored energy molecular species.

Mass Spectrometry, spectroscopic techniques

Lianming Wu obtained a Ph.D. in mass spectrometry (MS) from Purdue University under the guidance of Prof. R. Graham Cooks and followed by Postdoc Research Fellow in MS-based proteomics at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory under the guidance of Dr. Richard D. Smith. Dr. Wu has published forty one peer-reviewed scientific papers and book chapters on the subject of mass spectrometry and gave a number of oral presentations in national/international conferences such as ACS National Meeting and PittCon. He is currently working in Global Spectroscopy, Analytical Sciences & Development, GlaxoSmithKline.

Mass Spectrometry, Ambient mass spectrometry (AMS)

Yi Chen received his PhD in 1990 from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is a Professor of Analytical Chemistry, chairing Analytical Chemistry Department at University of CAS, and leading a research group on chemical perturbation analysis of cells and trace biological substances in living things. He has published 240 co-authored papers and 3 books and owned 20 patents. He is serving as Associated Editors and Editorial/Advisory Board Members of 15 journals, an associate member in Division V, IUPAC, and vice presidents of 5 Chinese academic societies including Professional Committee of Analytical MS in Chinese Chemical Society.

Mass Spectrometry, nano-electrospray ionization, alternating/direct current discharge ionization.

Lilian Mariutti is a Researcher in the Department of Food Science of the Faculty of Food Engineering at University of Campinas (Brazil). She received her Doctorate degree in Food Science from Unicamp in 2009. She also holds a M.S. in Food Science and B Sc in Food Engineering. She was a Researcher Fellow in the Laboratory of Veterinary Drug Residues of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply. Her research focuses on the identification and bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds (carotenoids and phenolic compounds), antioxidant activity of bioactive compounds in different systems and action of natural antioxidants in food.

Mass Spectrometry, APCI-MS/MS detection, MS applications
