30th Jubilee Meeting of PhD Students in the Field of Separation Science

Katharina Böttinger and Christian Huber attended the 30th Jubilee Meeting of PhD Students in the Field of Separation Science organized by the Working Group Separation Science of the German Chemical Society. The program featured a number of high-class presentations focusing on all aspects of modern spearation techniques, including a presentation entitled Glycosylation Profiling of Intact Monoclonal Antibodies by IP-RP HPLC-MS given by Katharina (full program here). Highlight of the anniversary party was music presented by the group Chemists after Dark featuring Saarbrücken Alumni Frank Steiner, Jochen Saar, and Stephan Lamotte, as well as Salzburg Alumnus Volker Neu: excellent performance and lots of fun!
