CRANBURY, N.J., Oct. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LCGC™, the largest global chromatography multimedia platform dedicated to separation sciences, today named Barry L. Karger, Ph.D, and James P. Grinias, Ph.D., recipients of the 15th annual LCGC Lifetime Achievement and Emerging Leader in Chromatography Awards. Karger, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Grinias, recipient of the Emerging Leader Award, will be presented with their awards this coming March at the 2022 Pittcon conference.

"I'm delighted to present this honor to both awardees who have proven themselves as established leaders in the field of chromatography," said Mike Hennessy Jr., president and CEO of MJH Life Sciences™, parent company of LCGC™. "Without their contributions, the separation science community would undoubtably not be the same."

Karger, James L. Waters Professor Emeritus of chemistry and chemical biology at Northeastern University, is one of the earliest contributors of modern high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and bioanalytical separations and analysis. He also served as director of the Barnett Institute of Chemical and Biological Analysis.

Grinias is an associate professor at Rowan University. His research focuses on the fundamental development of liquid chromatography (LC) columns in capillaries and microfluidic devices. His earlier work focused on the physical structure of the packed chromatographic bed inside a fused silica capillary and led to strategies that could be used to pack more efficient columns in capillaries and miniaturized microfluidic devices.

The LCGC Awards were launched in 2008 to celebrate the accomplishments of separation scientists. The Lifetime Achievement in Chromatography Award honors an outstanding professional for a lifetime of contributions to the advancement of chromatographic techniques and applications and the Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award recognizes the achievements and aspirations of a talented young separation scientist who has made strides early in their career toward the advancement of chromatographic techniques and applications.
