Nuclear Analytical Techniques for Metallomics and Metalloproteomics Capa dura - 2010 - 1st Edição

Chunying Chen is based at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology and Key Lab of Nuclear Analytical Techniques at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her research focuses on trace elements in biological and environmental systems, particularly with respect to trace element association with biomolecules. She has studied nuclear analytical techniques and their application in the environmental and life sciences, as well as biomarkers for occupational and environmental pollutants. Recently, she has been involved in the development of methodology for metallomics and metalloproteins in biological samples by INAA, HPLC-ICP-MS, SRXRF, XAS, MALDI-TOF-MS, and other related techniques. She is the principle investigator on several international and domestic projects, such as the EU-FP6 funded project (PHIME, 2006-2010), IAEA Coordinated Research Project, Japan Photon Factory Cooperation Project, China 973 Program and projects from the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). She has approximately 80 publications and three patents (two as a first inventor) to her name. Zhifang Chai has been an Academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences since 2007. In 1980, he received a Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the University of Cologne Institute of Nuclear Chemistry. He worked as a visiting Professor at Purdue University, University of Louis Pasteur, Tokyo Metropolitan University ECN at Petten and Interfaculty Reactor Institute at Delft. He won the George von Hevesy Award for his contribution to radiochemistry. He was an Associate Member and later Titular Member of both the Analytical Chemistry Division and Radiochemistry and Nuclear Techniques Committee of IUPAC. He has more than 250 publications to his name. Yuxi Gao is an Associate Professor in the Key Lab of Nuclear Analytical Techniques at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of High Energy Physics.
