Gavin Reid
Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry
Although recent genome sequencing initiatives have enabled the putative sequences of all the gene products (proteins) expressed by many organisms of interest to be readily obtained, the biological function of these proteins can not be determined from a simple examination of their sequences. The emerging field of proteomics, however, involving the systematic identification of all proteins expressed by a particular cell or tissue type at a given time, quantitative analysis of the differences in protein expression observed between two different cell states, (e.g. normal versus diseased), together

Check out the Michigan State University Department of Chemistry Undergraduate Student Award winners. More
Jeffrey R. Gour, a graduate student in Professor Piotr Piecuch's group, received an Outstanding Student Poster Award from the Physical Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. The award was presented to Jeff at the 235th National ACS Meeting in New Orleans, LA, April 6-10, 2008.
Professor John Frost and Dr. Karen Draths, who have taken a leave of absence from their jobs at Michigan State University in December 2006 to start Draths Corporation, have more recently developed a microbial process for making phloroglucinol, a chemical to replace formaldehyde, a carcinogen, in adhesive resins. more
Catherine Nezich was selected as the University's 24th recipient of the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Kaveri Korgavkar received honorable mention from the Goldwater Foundation. More
Dr. Thomas Hamann will be joining the department as an assistant professor this summer. Dr. Hamann's interests are in inorganic materials and electrochemistry related to energy conversion and storage. More
The Department of Chemistry at Michigan State University is an organizer of the 13th International Workshop "Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics" (QSCP). Professor Piotr Piecuch chairs the workshop. For more information about the workshop, confirmed speakers, registration, abstract submission, room reservation, and the history of the QSCP series, please see the web site.
John Hixson, a MSU Undergraduate Student, has been named a Ullyot Scholar and has won a 2007-08 Project SEED College Scholarship. John's receipt of this scholarship was based on his research as a project SEED student during the Summer of 2006, when he worked with Professor Mitch Smith and Dr. Edith Onyeozili. More
Marcos Dantus has been awarded the 2008 Distinguished Faculty Award.
Rob Maleczka and Mitch Smith have received a $100,000 grant from the Pharmaceutical Roundtable of the Green Chemistry Institute, a division of the American Chemical Society. The grant will be used to further their work that can be used to promote green engineering practices in the pharmaceutical industry. More
Piotr Piecuch was named University Distinguished Professor at the June 15, Board of Trustee meeting. More

Scott Bankroff has been awarded the 2007 J. Allen Alexander Award by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society. More
Gavin Reid has won an American Society for Mass Spectrometry Research Award. The award will be presented to Gavin at the annual ASMS conference to be held in Indianapolis in June.
March 16, 2007: Professor Piotr Piecuch and co-collaborators, including Jeff Gour, Maricris Lodriguito, and Professor Marta Wloch from the Piecuch group, Professor Mihai Horoi from Central Michigan University, and Professor Alex Brown from the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, have published a high profile paper in Physical Review Letters, where they show that coupled-cluster methods developed by the Piecuch group have a wide range of applicability that includes heavy nuclei, in addition to molecular systems. This is the fourth Physical Review Letters contribution from the Piecuch group since 2003, and the third one in nuclear structure theory. The relevant press releases associated with the article can be accessed at the following link:
