LCGC The Peak - June 2008 - (Page 24) 24 THE PEAK JUNE 2008 The 56th Annual ASMS Conference: A Review Helen A. Castro, Managing Editor, Spectroscopy A summary of the five-day mass spectrometry conference held this month in Denver, Colorado. he 56th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics was held from June 1–5, 2008, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. As in previous years, the conference attracted thousands of attendees. The opening program of the conference was held at 6:45 pm on Sunday, June 1. The plenary lecture, “Improbable Research — Spectrometric and Otherwise,” was delivered by Marc Abrahams, of the Annals of Improbable Research. Among the highlights of the week, the 2008 Award for Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry, which recognizes a focused achievement in or contribution to fundamental or applied mass spectrometry, was presented to Dr. Alexan- T der Makarov, Director of Global Reseaarch for Life Sciences Mass Spectrometry, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., for his leading role in the creation of a high-performance orbital electrostatic trap, which he termed the “orbitrap.” The oral sessions, held from June 2 through June 5, covered such topics as label-free quantitation of proteins, using MS for elemental analysis, discovering peptide biomarkers, MS characterization of carbohydrates, pharmaceutical drugs as environmental pollutants, and the role of mass spectrometry in the petroleum field. In addition to the oral sessions and poster presentations, workshops were offered on Monday, Tuesday, and
