Michisato Toyoda receives the IMSS Curt Brunnee Award


Dr. Michisato Toyoda, an Assistant Professor at Osaka University, is to be awarded the 2003 Curt Brunnée Award at the forthcoming international conference on mass spectrometry. The award, which carries a research prize of $US25,000 is made "for outstanding contributions to the development of instrumentation for mass spectrometry by a person under the age of 45 at the time of the award".

Dr. Toyoda's recent research has included the construction of ion sources for ion trap-time of flight hybrid mass spectrometers and the development of a multi-turn time-of-flight mass spectrometer 'MULTUM II'.

www.i-mass.com congratulates Dr. Toyoda.
