The HPLC 2011 Budapest Symposium is just around the corner and we are looking forward to a stimulating program.
The preliminary scientific program is now available on-line at www.hplc2011.com.
Please take a look at the program featuring 134 oral presentations, and more than 800 posters.
HPLC 2011 Budapest will feature the following plenary speakers:
- Georges Guiochon, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA
Recent progress in column technology begets progress in our understanding of column efficiency
- András Perczel, ELTE, Budapest, Hungary
Dynamical structure activity relationship of peptides and proteins
- Gyula Vigh, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA
A new preparative-scale isoelectrophoretic trapping device: Design, construction and first characterization
- Günther Bonn, University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
Novel enrichment and separation methods as fundamental tools in bioanalysis
- Massimo Morbidelli, ETH, Zurich, Switzerland
Continuous chromatography (MCSGP) for the purification of therapeutic proteins
- Peter Schoenmakers, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
High-performance separations of macromolecules
- Frantisek Svec, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA
Imaging flow and chromatographic separation in monolithic capillaries using remote NMR detection
- Guowang Xu, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, P. R. China
LC-MS based metabolomics for disease biomarker discovery and confirmation
Short courses and tutorial lectures will constitute an integral part of the scientific program, which are planned as educational lectures for students and others new to various separation disciplines, and to provide opportunities to broaden one’s understanding of separation science. Moreover, the short courses will provide opportunity to meet and discuss separation problems with the real experts.
Nine tutorial lectures will provide in-depth introduction and overview of current topics. Newcomers and senior researchers are also welcome to attend the tutorial lectures.
Exhibition and 13 vendor seminars are intended to inform the participants about the latest developments in the field in terms of instrumentation, technology, and applications. Fifty-seven exhibitors will present their latest innovations in the field of separation science.
During the symposium, prominent separation scientists will be honored. The Halász Medal Award and the Csaba Horváth Memorial Award of Hungarian Society for Separation Sciences, as well as the Martin Medal of the Chromatographic Society will be presented during the HPLC 2011 Budapest Symposium.
The social program of the HPLC 2011 Budapest Symposium will include opening and closing receptions, symposium dinner, an organ concert at the St. Stephen Basilica, and various optional activities. Budapest possesses a rich and vibrant cultural heritage and there are many great sites to visit. The city is world famous for its vivid cultural life: the abundance of concerts, opera performances, recitals, and exhibitions.
Finally, I want to invite all of you who have not yet registered to attend HPLC 2011 in Budapest and to celebrate science at beautiful place in a historic city. For registration and further information, please visit www.hplc2011.com
I am looking forward to seeing you in Budapest in less than a month in June.
