Alexander A Sysoev is the head of the,National Research Nuclear University MEPhI Russian Federation. Member of the Presidium and the Council of the All-Russian mass spectrometric society. Inventor of USSR, Honorary Professor of Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, and Honorary Employee of High Professional Education of Russian Federation. Research interests: analytical chemistry, ionization processes, ion optics, and time-of-flight mass analyzers. Also there are chief developments: theory for multiturn time-of-flight mass analyzers; the laser time-of-flight mass spectrometer for elemental analysis; combined ion mobility spectrometer /time-of-flight mass spectrometer with axial symmetric field for analyses of explosive, drugs, pharmaceutical preparations. New Educational Technology by Imitation Professional Activity of students was developed and implemented in the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. Such graduates as Alexander Makarov, Vyacheslav Artayev, Dmitry Bandura and many others are working in leading the mass spectral companies and laboratories.

Dr. Steven Soldin is a Senior scientist at NIH. He is also an Adjunct Full Professor at Georgetown University in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism. He has published 271 papers. His research interests focus on the role of specificity in improving patient diagnosis and treatment. He recently showed a statistically significant diurnal fluctuation in steroid concentrations for all steroids tested except progesterone. The extent of this diurnal variation is so large that it necessitates development of time dependent reference intervals. The role of mass spectrometry in improving patient diagnoses in hypothyroidism (5.7 % of population) and adrenal disease (7.4% of population) has been demonstrated.

tandem mass spectrometry, Analytical science

Roman Zubarev was trained (M.Sc.) in Engineering Physics in Moscow, and received PhD in Ion Physics from Uppsala, Sweden, in 1997. After postdoc training in Cornell, USA, he became associate professor of bio-MS at the Chemistry Department in Odense, Denmark. In 2002 he came back to Uppsala as professor of proteomics. In 2009 he has moved to KI in Stockholm, taking a professorship in medicinal proteomics. Among his scientific achievements, Dr. Zubarev has pioneered electron capture dissociation and related fragmentation techniques, and has formulated and verified the Isotopic resonance hypothesis. For his contribution to mass spectrometry he has been awarded by the Carl Brunnee award (2006), Biemann medal (2007) and a Gold medal (Russian MS Society, 2013). Dr. Zubarev has published more than 260 peer-reviewed papers (h-index 51), and has several patents.

Mass Spectrometry, Analytical Chemistry

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, photoelectron spectroscopy

Dr. Dizdaroglu has obtained his PhD at the Karlsruhe Technical University, Germany, and subsequently worked for 7 years at the Max-Planck-Institute for Radiation Chemistry, before moving to USA. He has been at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for more 30 years. In 2006, Dr. Dizdaroglu was conferred upon the rank of NIST Fellow. To date, he published highly cited 247 papers. Dr. Dizdaroglu received numerous scientific awards including the Hillebrand Prize of the American Chemical Society, and the Silver and Gold Medal Awards of the US Department of Commerce. He was also awarded two Honorary Doctorates.

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.
