We would like to extend a warm congratulations to our very own Dr. Badu-Tawiah who has recently named as one of the 2017 American Society for Mass Spectrometry Research Award recipients. This particular research award is given out each year in order to support young scientists doing academic research in the mass spectrometry field. This award, first started by Robert Finnigan in 1985, comes with funding of $35,000 and is presented annually by Thermo Fisher Scientific and the Waters Corporation. The Mass Spectrometry Research Award is open to academic scientists who have joined the tenure track faculty or equivalent in a North American university, within the last four years. Once again, please join us in expressing our sincere congratulations to Dr. Badu-Tawiah for this remarkable achievement! Visit here for more about the award and past recipients.
