JPAG prize awarded to "Square" research student

A prize confirming a certificate of achievement and a cheque for £100, courtesy of Pfizer research and development, was presented by the honorary secretary of the Joint Pharmaceutical Analysis Group, Professor Geoffrey Phillips, to Catherine Lane, a research student at the School of Pharmacy, University of London, for her short paper in pharmaceutical analysis. Ms Lane's work, with co-authors Professor Laurence Patterson and Kevin Welham, department of pharmaceutical and biological chemistry, and Dr C. Lenz of Applied Biosystems, Langen, Germany, was entitled "Analysis of human cytochrome P450 isoforms using nanoelectrospray ionisation tandem mass spectroscopy."

For more than 30 years, the JPAG has devoted one annual meeting to short papers in pharmaceutical analysis. Each year, one or two prizes are awarded for the best oral presentation by less experienced analysts working in academic research, industry, hospital, official and private laboratories. JPAG members are drawn from the Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
