Training: Our instructors



Tom Jupille
Tom Jupille has been a practicing chromatographer for more than 30 years, during which he has written more than 30 papers on chromatography and related subjects. He worked primarily in gas chromatography in the late '60s, switching to thin-layer chromatography in the early '70s and then to HPLC and ion chromatography in late '70s. His career has focused on instrument and column development and user support, providing a broad foundation of practical experience to call on as an instructor.

Over the past 19 years, Tom Jupille has presented courses and seminars in the field of chromatography to more than 3000 students. In addition to teaching, he has been involved in the development and support of computer modeling techniques for chromatography method development. He is President of LC Resources and a Consulting Editor for LCGC . He is probably best known as the moderator of the popular Chromatography Forum on-line chromatography discussion group.

 

John W. Dolan
John Dolan is perhaps best known as the editor/author of the monthly column "LC Troubleshooting" (1983- present) in LCGC. In addition, Dr. Dolan has written more than 100 papers on HPLC and related topics. He is the coauthor of Troubleshooting HPLC Systems and High-Performance Gradient Elution, two authoritative books in the field. Dr. Dolan is the recipient of the Palmer Award (Minnesota Chromatography Forum) and the Dal Nogare Award (Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley).

Dr. Dolan's experience in two different analytical instrument companies, and involvement in design and writing the DryLab software give him a solid background in instrumentation and software. Ten years managing LC Resources' Laboratory Services group (now BASi Northwest Laboratory) have provided a unique "hands-on" perspective...biotech applications. He has taught HPLC techniques to thousands of students over the last 20 years. He is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of LCGC and also teaches the Practical HPLC Method Development course for the American Chemical Society.

 
Lloyd R. Snyder
Lloyd Snyder is widely regarded as one of the "founders" of HPLC and is well known for his 40-plus years of experience and research in the field of liquid chromatography. He has written more than 200 HPLC-related papers and has taught HPLC courses to more than 10,000 students since 1971. He is coauthor of Introduction to Modern Liquid Chromatography, Practical HPLC Method Development, Troubleshooting HPLC Systems,and High-Performance Gradient Elution. Dr. Snyder's contributions to the development of HPLC have been recognized by a number of international awards, including the ACS awards in chromatography and the Pittsburgh Conference Analytical Chemistry Award.

Dr. Snyder is heavily involved in designing strategies for effective HPLC method development as well as in developing training materials and course content to communicate these strategies to the chromatography community. The chromatography training courses benefit from his experience and insight into the chromatography process.
 
Shib Mookherjea
Shib Mookherjea has a proven track record in problem solving and extensive accomplishments in the areas of pharmaceutical development, marketing, quality assurance, quality control, process upgrade, analytical support for stability studies, environmental studies, worker exposure (OSHA), and validation in the laboratory. He has held senior scientist and management positions with multinational organizations, including Colgate Palmolive, Johnson & Johnson, Troy Corporation, BASF, and several academic institutions.

Dr. Mookherjea is a highly recognized speaker in many domestic and international forums. He provides global training and consulting in the areas of validation, TQM, ISO-9000, laboratory QA, accreditation, GLP, and cGMP.
 

Fred Klink
Fred Klink is the owner of Scientific Training and Marketing (STM, www.scientifictraining.com), which provides continuing education and consulting services to the pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical industries. Fred's specialty is HPLC, LC/MS, and solid-phase extraction technologies.

Fred received a degree in biochemistry from Northwestern University and completed graduate studies in forensic chemistry at the university of Illinois. He is an adjunct professor of chemistry at the University of the Pacific. Fred spent seventeen years in the analytical instrument business where he held positions as an applications chemist, development project manager, product manager, marketing manager, and manager for strategic planning. Fred has been teaching the highly regarded MS and LC/MS course since 1996.

Fred is the author of several journal articles and two book chapters: on in LC/MS for the Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry (Wiley, 2000) and another on chromatography systems in Cunico, Gooding, And Wehr, Basic HPLC and CE of Biomolecules (BBL, 1998). He is a member of the American Chemical Society and American Society for Mass Spectrometry.

 

Jack Throck Watson
After graduating from Iowa State University with a B.S. in chemical technology in 1961, Dr. Watson attended graduate school at MIT, earning a PhD in chemistry in 1965. Following a tour of duty in the USAF, he began his academic career in the Department of Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University in 1969 as Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1974. In 1980, he was appointed Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry at Michigan State University (MSU), where he was also appointed Director of the MSU Mass Spectrometry Facility. For 19 years at MSU, Dr. Watson was Principal Investigator of an NIH Regional Resources in Mass Spectrometry. During his academic research career, he mentored more than 40 graduate students in the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry and supervised 15 postdoctoral associates in research activities involving mass spectrometry. He published more than 150 scientific papers, 15 chapters in books, and four books. In August 2006, he retired from MSU and is completing the fourth edition of his book on mass spectrometry.

 
O. David Sparkman
O. David Sparkman is currently an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California; Consultant to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Mass Spectrometry Data Center; President of ChemUserWorld.com; and a former American Chemical Society Instructor (1978–2006) and American Society for Mass Spectrometry Member-at-large for Education (2004–2006).

At the University of the Pacific, Prof. Sparkman teaches courses in mass spectrometry and analytical chemistry and manages the mass spectrometry facility. Over the past 28 years, he has developed and taught five different ACS courses in mass spectrometry; he holds positions on the Editorial Advisory Boards of the European Journal of Mass Spectrometry and the HD Science GC/MS Update – Part B; and is the Book Review Editor for the European Journal of Mass Spectrometry. He is the author of Mass Spectrometry Desk Reference (Global View Publishing: Pittsburgh, PA, 1st ed. 2000; 2nd ed. 2006). Prof. Sparkman is a member of the Editorial Boards of the John Wiley Encyclopedia of Environmental Analysis and Remediation and Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry, Editor of and a contributor to the Mass Spectrometry Section of the Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry, and a contributor to the Encyclopedia of Environmental Analysis and Remediation. Along with J. Throck Watson, he developed the Mass Spectral Interpretation Quick Reference Guide.

He also provides general consulting service in mass spectrometry for a number of instrument manufacturers, manufacturing companies, and government agencies.
