The Booth and Poster Tours program is designed to facilitate meaningful interactions among attendees in small groups, fostering the exchange of intellect and experiences. This initiative holds particular value for first-time MSACL attendees, providing them with the chance to connect with colleagues who share similar interests. Additionally, it serves as a valuable opportunity for early-career attendees to approach, interact, and build connections with mid- to late-career professionals within the community.

Booth and Poster Tours: Guides browse booths or view posters as they normally would, but with one or more participants along to observe, join discussions and learn from the experience.

You can sign up at the conference to participate in Guided Activities (i.e., Booth Tour, Poster Tour).

	Elizabeth Frank, PhD University of Utah Health / ARUP Laboratories	Booth Tour on Tuesday @ 20:00
Elizabeth L. Frank, PhD, is a professor of pathology at the University of Utah School of Medicine and a medical director at ARUP Laboratories, a national reference laboratory operated by the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City. She is certified as a clinical chemist by the American Board of Clinical Chemistry and is a fellow of the AACC Academy. Dr. Frank's clinical and scientific interests are focused on measurement of biogenic amines, porphyrins, and vitamins using HPLC and LC-MS/MS; determination of calculi composition using FTIR; biochemical assessment of nephrolithiasis risk; and use of laboratory test results to evaluate health status.

	Tim Garrett, PhD University of Florida College of Medicine	Poster Tour #2 on Thursday @ 14:35
Dr. Garrett has over 20 years of experience in the field of mass spectrometry spanning both instrument and application development. He received his PhD from the University of Florida, under Dr. Richard A. Yost, working on the first imaging mass spectrometry-based ion trap instrument. He has also developed MALDI-based approaches to analyze proteins in bacteria and small molecules in tissue specimens. His current interests include development of techniques and instrumentation for metabolomics science using LC-HRMS and translational work in diagnostics for dried blood spots. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Florida, and Director for the Southeast Center for Integrated Metabolomics (SECIM).

	Claire Knezevic, PhD Lurie Childrens Hospital	Poster Tour #1 on Wednesday @ 9:30
Dr. Claire Knezevic is a clinical chemist in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Lurie Children's Hospital with a focus on chemistry, point-of-care testing, quality improvement, drug monitoring, and personalized medicine. She is an Associate Professor in Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine in the Department of Pathology. Her interests include all things small molecule, from toxicology to therapeutic drug monitoring and their impacts on clinical care.

	Guinevere Lageveen-Kammeijer, PhD University of Groningen	Poster Tour #1 on Wednesday @ 9:30
Dr. Guinevere Lageveen-Kammeijer is an Assistant Professor in the Analytical Biochemistry group at the University of Groningen, within the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy. She holds a BSc in Biotechnology - Forensic Sciences from the University of Applied Sciences van Hall Larenstein, Leeuwarden, and an MSc in Analytical Chemistry from VU University, Amsterdam. Her research interests were ignited during her MSc internship, where she focused on separation techniques coupled with mass spectrometry. Guinevere earned her PhD in Clinical Glycomics from the Leiden University Medical Center in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Manfred Wuhrer. Her thesis developed small-scale sample preparation workflows using capillary electrophoresis (CE) and mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to analyze glycans, glycopeptides, and glycoproteins, with applications in biomarker discovery and biopharmaceutical characterization. She continued her research as a post-doctoral researcher at the same institution before expanding her expertise with a visit to Northeastern University, Boston, in 2017, where she focused on protein charge and proteoform heterogeneity. In 2022, Guinevere began her tenure-track assistant professorship at the University of Groningen, where she works on advancing glyco(proteo)mic techniques, particularly in single-cell glycomic analysis. Her research includes expanding the mass spectrometry-based glycosylation assay for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a key biomarker for prostate cancer, and exploring the in-depth analysis of glycans and glycoproteins for biomarker discovery in other diseases and biopharmaceutical characterization. Guinevere’s contributions have been recognized through funding such as the Investigator Sponsored Research grant from Astellas (2019) and the prestigious NWO VENI grant (2023). She is actively involved in the scientific community, serving on the Scientific Omics Committee for MSACL. Guinevere is passionate about promoting the importance of glycosylation in biomarker research, aiming to bridge the gap between researchers and clinical professionals to improve biomarker translation to the clinic.

	Ruben Y. Luo, PhD, DABCC Stanford University	Poster Tour #1 on Wednesday @ 9:30
Ruben Y. Luo, PhD, DABCC, FADLM is an Assistant Professor of Pathology at Stanford University and an Associate Director of Clinical Chemistry Laboratory at Stanford Health Care. He received PhD in chemistry from Stanford University, worked in the clinical diagnostic industry for several years, and then completed clinical chemistry fellowship at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Luo is dedicated to innovations in clinical diagnostics. His research focuses on (1) discovering the clinical diagnostic value of molecular characteristics of protein biomarkers, and (2) applying top-down mass spectrometry and label-free optical sensing immunoassays to characterization and accurate measurement of biomarkers. He has been an active member and conference speaker in the international clinical chemistry and mass spectrometry communities, e.g., Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM; formerly American Association for Clinical Chemistry, AACC), American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS), Mass Spectrometry & Advances in Clinical Lab (MSACL). His research awards include 2022 AACC George Grannis Award for Excellence in Research and Scientific Publication, 2020 American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) “40 Under Forty” Honoree, etc. He currently serves as an associate editor of JMSACL and an editorial board member of Scientific Reports.
