Tswett Chromatography Medals The M.S. Tswett Chromatography Medals for 1987 were awarded to Marjorie G. Horning, Daido Ishii, and Jan B. Sjôvall at the 24th International Symposium on Advances in Chromatography, held Sept. 8-10 in West Berlin. The three scientists were recognized for their contributions to the development of chromatography. Marjorie G. Horning received a B.S. from Goucher College (Towson, Md.) and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan. She was a research chemist at the University of Pennsylvania and at the National Heart Institute (Bethesda, Md.). In 1961, she joined Baylor University College of Medicine, Houston, Tex., where she currently is a professor of biochemistry. She is also a special member of the graduate faculty at the Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (Houston) and an adjunct professor of biochemical and biophysical sciences at the University of Houston. Horning has pioneered in work on the use of gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry (MS) for analytical biochemistry and pharmacology applications. Daido Ishii received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in engineering from Nagoya University. In 1950 he joined Nagoya University as a research associate. Currently he is a professor of chemistry and a director of technical research at Nagoya University's Research Center for Resource and Energy Conservation. Ishii began his career in radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry and became involved in chromatography in the 1970s. He is best known for his work on the use of small-diameter (0.5-mm or less) HPLC columns. Recent work has centered on the combination of microcolumn LC with fast atom bombardment MS and the development of a chromatographic system for gas, liquid, and supercritical fluid chromatography using a single microcolumn. Jan B. Sjôvall received a Ph.D. in physiological chemistry at Lund University in 1955 and an M.D. from the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, in 1960. He was assistant professor of physiological chemistry at the University of < Lund and both associate professor and professor of chemistry at the Karolinska Institutet, where he is \^~ currently a professor in the department of physiological chemistry. One of the true pioneers in the application of chromatography to biology, biochemistry, and
medicine, Sjôvall works with paper chromatography, GC, HPLC, gel chromatography, and GC/MS in fundamental studies of bile acids, steroids, steroid metabolism, and lipids. In addition to the development of novel analytical methodologies, his research has led to much new information in gastroenterology, steroid endocrinology, and clinical chemistry.
Anachem, Patterson-Crane, Sarstedt Awardees Named The Association of Analytical Chemists (Anachem) has designated Howard V. Malmstadt of Pacific and Asia Christian University, Hawaii, as this year's recipient of the Anachem Award for outstanding research achievements and service to the field of analytical chemistry. Malmstadt received his B.S. from the University of Wisconsin and studied electronics at Princeton and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in preparation for service as a naval radar officer in World War II. He obtained M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin after the war. While serving as professor of chemistry at the University of Illinois, he was the author or coauthor of more than 150 journal publications and 10 books. During this time he helped develop modular electronic instrumentation and created a course in electronics for scientists. The award will be presented to Malmstadt at the 14th annual meeting of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies in Detroit, Mich., Oct. 4-9. Kurt L. Loening, director of nomenclature for Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), has received the 1987 PattersonCrane Award for his work in the development of chemical nomenclature and terminology. The Columbus and Dayton Sections of the American Chemical Society (ACS) bestow the international award annually for significant contributions to the field of chemical literature. Loening has chaired the ACS committee on nomenclature for 23 years and has served as CAS's director of nomenclature for more than 20 years. He chaired the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) interdivisional committee on nomenclature for 11 years. He was founding chairman of the IUPAC macromolecular nomenclature commission in 1967 and now serves as its U.S. representative. He was appointed to the nomenclature commission of the International Union of Biochemistry in 1986. The 1986 Sarstedt International Research Award for outstanding original research in clinical chemistry leading to early diagnosis of disease has been jointly awarded to Patrick H. O'Farrell of the University of California and Joachim Klose of the Freie Universitât of Berlin. These researchers were cited for their work in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, which has led to the establishment of a standard method of protein separation that can aid in the early detection of diseases, particularly those associated
