PEOPLE New Advisory Board members Three new members from academia have been selected to serve three-year terms on Analytical Chemistry’s Editorial Advisory Board. Established in the 1940s, the board is a vital link between the Journal editors and the analytical chemistry community, providing guidance and advice on editorial content and policy.
Kyoto University (both in Japan). His research interests include preparation and characterization of chromatographic columns and stationary phases and their application to the separation of closely related compounds, such as isomers and isotopic compounds.
New A-Page Panel members Graham Cooks, Henry Bohn Hass Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University, was educated at the University of Natal (South Africa) and at Cambridge University (England). He has made significant contributions to the development of desorption ionization and tandem MS as methods for analyzing complex mixtures and has worked on the kinetic method for measuring thermochemical quantities and inelastic and reactive ion collisions with surfaces. Jed Harrison, professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Alberta, received his B.Sc. in chemical physics from Simon Fraser University (both in Canada) and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research interests are in bioanalytical chemistry, microfluidic systems, and the application of micro- and nanofabrication methods to analytical instrumentation. Nobuo Tanaka, professor of chemistry at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, received his B.S. and D.Sc. in chemistry from 16 A
Analytical Chemistry has also selected seven new members to serve three-year terms on its A-Page Advisory Panel. The panel provides feedback on the A-page editorial content and proposes appropriate topics and authors for feature articles. Joseph Bayona, research director at the Institute of Chemistry and Environmental Research of the Spanish Research Council at Barcelona, received his chemistry degree from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain). His current research interests are in the development of analytical methods for understanding the environmental processes affecting the fate of contaminants, passive sampling, and field measurement. Ernst Kenndler, professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Vienna (Austria), received both his M.D. and Ph.D. from the same institution. His research interests include fundamentals of separation sciences, especially electrically driven methods; separation of large biological assemblies, such as viruses and organelles; and application of separation methods to biochemical, pharmaceutical, and archaeometric problems.

Wlodzimierz Kutner, associate professor at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC-PAS), received his Ph.D. from Warsaw University (Poland) and his D.Sc. from IPC-PAS. His research interests include applying electroanalytical, piezoelectric microgravimetry, and Langmuir–Blodgett techniques to sensors as well as to the study of fullerenes. Susan Lunte, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry and a courtesy professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas, received her B.A. in chemistry from Kalamazoo College and her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Purdue University. Her research interests are in bioanalytical chemistry and include the areas of miniaturized separations, electrochemical and laser-induced fluorescence detection, microdialysis sampling, and protein and peptide analysis. Wolfgang Schuhmann, professor of analytical chemistry at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, received his Ph.D. in analytical-physical chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (both in Germany). He is currently pursuing research in the areas of biosensors, biosensor arrays, DNA chips, bioelectrochemistry, microelectrochemistry, and scanning electrochemical microscopy. He is also interested in on-line analysis using flow-injection analyzers and combinatorial electrochemistry.

Sitta Sittampalam, currently holds the position of Head, Lead Optimization Biology Division of the Lilly Research Laboratories at Eli Lilly & Company. He received his B.Sc. in chemistry and biology at the University of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), his M.S. in analytical chemistry at Bowling Green State University, and a Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Arizona. His current interests are the development of nonisotopic optical methods for biochemical measurements, including imaging biological systems; high-throughput screening assay devel-
opment and validation issues; and the application of statistical experimental design to screening applications. Steven Soper, professor of chemistry at Louisiana State University, received his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas. His research interests include steady-state and time-resolved near-IR fluorescence for genomics, the design and development of polymerbased microfluidic systems, single-molecule detection, and the application of nanoreactors in molecular biology.
