November 16. McGown is being honored for her research in frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime techniques applied to complex samples, luminescence and fluorescence-detected circular dichroism spectroscopies, fluorescence lifetime techniques, and on-the-fly lifetime detection for chromatography. McGown received her B.S. degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1975 and her Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1979. She was a postdoctoral associate at Texas A&M University and served on the faculties of California State University at Long Beach and Oklahoma State University before joining the faculty of Duke University in 1987.
