Dovichi Receives American Chemical Society Award

Norman J. Dovichi (University of Alberta, Canada) recently received the American Chemical Society Award in Chemical Instrumentation, sponsored by the Dow Chemical Company Foundation. Dovichi was recognized for his research in ultra-sensitive instrumentation for analytical chemistry, combining laser spectroscopy with high-performance chemical separation techniques. His recent research into DNA sequencing by capillary electrophoresis using single-molecule detection was cited as especially noteworthy. Dovichi's research is supported by the DOE Office of Health and Environmental Research, Human Genome Program. [Contact: Roland Hirsch (301/903-3213)]
