The Delaware Valley Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group (DVMSDG) serves a diverse group of scientists from both academia and industry. DVMSDG is hosted by the Department of Chemistry at Villanova University, just thirty minutes outside of downtown Philadelphia. Attendance at the monthly meetings is typically 20-35 scientists and students, with some meetings and events drawing in excess of 100 people.
DVMSDG was created to meet the interests of a variety of scientists with diverse backgrounds. Due to a large number of local scientists in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, many of the seminars are weighted towards these areas. However, we attempt a balanced program between theory and applications, while also trying to provide perspective on the history of mass spectrometry for the younger generation of mass spectrometrists studying at local universities.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, all events will be via Zoom. In-person meetings coming up soon!
The goal of HPLC 2022 is to bring together scientists at all professional levels involved with all aspects of liquid-phase separations from fundamental research to practice, to provide a dynamic program with cutting-edge presentations and engaging scientific sessions, and to offer wide opportunities for training, networking, and informal discussion. Scientists and researchers will present the latest trends and issues in areas such as column technologies, 3D-printing, multidimensional LC, capillary LC, SFC, micro-and nanofluidics, omics, mass spectrometry, sample preparation, theory of the chromatographic separation processes, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, as well as a myriad of other topics related to liquid-phase separations and analyses.
The Delaware Valley Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group (DVMSDG) is sponsoring two travel awards for students who plan to present at the 67th American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Conference, June 2nd - 6th, 2019 in Atlanta, GA. Applicants must be enrolled full-time in either a graduate or undergraduate program at a college/university in the greater Philadelphia/Delaware Valley region.
Interested applicants should submit the following information:
Applications should be submitted electronically in Word or PDF format by May 3rd , 2019 to: Steven.Mark.LaMonaca@dupont.com
Applications will be judged by DVMSDG Board, and the winners will be announced at our annual Vendors’ Night meeting on May 7th, 2019.
Further information about DVMSDG can be found at our website: http://dvmsdg.org
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this award or the application process.
Sincerely,
Steven M. LaMonaca
