Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced today that
Joycelyn Tan, a Ph.D. student at the Wellcome-MRC Institute of
Metabolic Science at the University of Cambridge, UK, has been
awarded the 2024 Darlene Solomon Award. The award recognizes and
supports promising female scientists working in mass
spectrometry.
Ms. Tan is a member of the Fazakerley group, which is dedicated
to understanding the mechanisms responsible for obesity and related
metabolic diseases. Her research focuses on how culture conditions,
such as oxygen tension and medium nutrient composition, can alter
the metabolism and function of various metabolic cell types, with
the goal of identifying culture conditions that will help to better
mimic the in vivo environment.
“I am grateful to receive this award from Agilent and FeMS,”
said Ms. Tan. “The future capacities of mass spectrometry-based
technologies are extremely exciting. I look forward to the
opportunity to learn more about current lipidomic implementations
across research fields, and new technical developments at iSLS12. I
also look forward to visiting the Agilent GSDC in Singapore and
engaging with female Agilent leaders, which I am sure will be
inspiring.”
“Ms. Tan’s research has the potential to provide valuable
insights into how culture conditions impact metabolic cell types
and their metabolism, function, and behavior,” said Ken Suzuki,
vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Mass Spectrometry
Division. “Agilent is committed to fostering an atmosphere where
female scientists can flourish and serve as role models to others.
We congratulate Ms. Tan on receiving this prestigious award and
wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”
The Darlene Solomon Award includes travel to the iSLS12 - 12th
International Singapore Lipid Symposium that was held March 5–8 at
the National University of Singapore. During the event, Ms. Tan
officially received the award. Additionally, she will have the
opportunity to visit the Agilent Global Solutions Development
Center in Singapore, where she will work alongside Agilent
scientists. This experience will provide hands-on practical
experience of Agilent products and workflows serving the life
sciences and applied market space. Furthermore, Ms. Tan will engage
with Agilent leaders for coaching and career advice.
The Darlene Solomon Award is co-sponsored by FeMS (Females in
Mass Spectrometry) and Agilent Technologies. It was created to
promote mass spectrometry research and provide financial support to
early-career female scientists to attend various mass spectrometry
conferences sponsored by Agilent or FeMS. Candidates for the award
include high-potential scientists poised to benefit from
cutting-edge research in lipidomics, systems biology, and clinical
research and are looking to gain more exposure to industry-leading
technologies in this space.
FeMS is an international community-led initiative to create a
network of support for women in the field of mass spectrometry.
FeMS aims to bring together, encourage, empower, and facilitate the
visibility of women in mass spectrometry. The organization strives
to engage the entire community of women in mass spectrometry and
their supporters to hear and learn from all perspectives. As a
global network, FeMS supports all related events where women
working in the MS field gather. Learn more at
