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)]
