Pharmaceutical Analysis Research Awards and Careers Symposium 2024

It has been another very successful year for the Pharmaceutical Analysis Research Awards and Careers Symposium which was held on Tuesday. 12th November 2024 at the Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House. Over100 delegates attended the meeting and heard two highly inspirational keynote lectures by Dr Zoe, Ayres, Open University , and Mrs Laura Woodward, Royal Society of Chemistry .

There were eight podium presentations of a high standard given by early career academic and industrial researchers. In the Science Room were 24 posters, attended by the authors.

The winner of THE GEOFFREY PHILLIPS ANALYTICAL SCIENCE AWARD for the best podium presentation has been announced. The winner was Ms Maxine den Hartog, King’s College London who gave her presentation on " Towards the development of an optical biosensor for the detection of human blood for forensic analysis ". Miss den Hartog received a certificate and a bursary of up to £1,000 to enable her to benefit from a relevant programme of personal professional development.

The highly commended podium award of £250 was made to Ms Helena Friedrich, King’s College London for her presentation on “Investigating the interaction between microplastics and mammalian cells by live-cell FTIR micro-spectroscopy”.

The winner of the best poster award of £200 was Ms Caighley Logan, Liverpool John Moores University for her presentation on {I “Finding the ignition source from bone: a forensic investigation into the effects of intense heat and fire on porcine bone." .

Commended poster awards, each of £100, were made to Ms Lucy Goodacre (King’s College London for her presentation on " Mucus simulant lining of nasal casts for analysis of regional nasal deposition" and to Mr Andy Molina, Pharmaron . for his presentation on “ Applications of TESCAN SEM at Pharmaron" .

The awards were presented by Dr Amira Guirguis, JPAG, and Dr Lisa Hinchliffe, JPAG Chair, who offered their congratulations to all of the award winners and many thanks to all the presenters.
