8^th World Congress on Mass Spectrometry June 10-11, 2019 Edinburgh, Scotland

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.

Ragu Ramanathan is a Director of Global Small Molecule Bioanalysis in the Global Bioanalytical Laboratories at Pfizer Inc. (CT, USA). Ragu earned his BS degree in Chemistry from the University of Southern Mississippi (MS, USA) (1988) and a PhD degree in Analytical/Physical Chemistry from the University of Florida (FL, USA) (1994). Ragu’s postdoctoral research was performed at Washington University (MO, USA) (1995-1997). Through a research grant from the NIH, at Washington University Mass Spectrometry resources, Ragu expanded his training in mass spectrometry through application to breast cancer research and protein characterization. From this training, Ragu’s interest ventured into application of mass spectrometry at several pharmaceutical research and contract research organizations, including Analytical Bio-Chemistry Laboratories (MO, USA), Schering-Plough Research Institute (now Merck; NJ, USA), Warner-Lambert (now Pfizer; MI, USA), Bristol-Myers Squibb (NJ, USA), QPS (DE, USA), and Pfizer, Inc. (CT, USA)

Eduard 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.

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.

She received doctorate in 1998 from University of Strathclyde and manage the mass spectrometry core facility, part of the Edinburgh Clinical Research Facility. We focus on small molecule analysis using triple quadrupole mass spectrometers. We have expertise in quantitative steroid analysis using chromatography and mass spectrometry, in particular glucocorticoids, estrogens and androgens. We are also able to develop assays for many small molecules including drugs, other lipid like molecules and metabolites of endogenous and exogenous molecules.

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.
