President's Message
Welcome to a new year in the AES Electrophoresis Society! We are glad you are a member and
I am looking forward to having your involvement in the exciting year to come.
Highlights from 2015 include:
A remodeled website (special thanks to Rob Minerick, Jaka Cemazar, and Mark Hayes!) that is more visually appealing and highlights the latest achievements of our members. Let us
know if you have exciting news to share!
Vibrant and well-attended sessions at the SciX meeting.
A successful annual meeting including presentation by vendors, a collaboration with the
journal Biomicrofluidics for a special issue, and the “Art in Science” competition.
What to expect in 2016:
Dielectrophoresis 2016 - a great meeting for members working in that area.
ITP 2016, hosted by AES Electrophoresis Society at the SciX 2016 meeting brings a unique chance to present and learn about electrically driven phenomena within the
international community.
Further recognition of the amazing work in the electrically driven flow community through
the creation of Fellows of the AES Electrophoresis Society.
Exploring interest in an independent AES Electrophoresis Society meeting.
Increased social media presence to highlight up to the minute accomplishments, news, and
features!
Workshops – feedback is needed to ensure success.
If you are not already involved in the AES Electro- phoresis Society then I encourage you to make this your year to be an active part of our growth and
future!
The time for winter meditation on the Golden Ratio has come to an end.
AES Electrophoresis members must get back to work!

2016 AES Mid-Career Achievement Award Winner: Dr. Amy E. Herr
This year, AES has the pleasure of awarding the AES Mid-Career Award to Dr. Amy E. Herr. Amy has made significant contributions to electrophoretic research in multiple areas since she began as a mechanical engi-neering graduate student at Stanford. After completing her PhD, Amy accepted a research scientist position at Sandia National Laboratory in Livermore, California. In 2007, she moved to academia, joining the Depart-ment of Bioengineering at the University of California at Berkeley, where she now works as the
Lester John and Lynne Dewar Lloyd Distinguished Professor.
Amy’s research accomplishments have primarily centered around three areas. First, she has combined microfluidics with two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to achieve rapid and quantitative assessment of protein expression. This required extensive investigation of scale-dependent phenomena, such as her 2003 Analytical Chemistry publication entitled “On-Chip Coupling of Isoelectric Focusing and Free Solution Electrophoresis for Multi-Dimensional Separations.” Second, she has developed new technology for validating promising protein biomarkers in an automated way. Finally, Amy has devel-oped electrophoretic microfluidic platforms for rapid, analytical-grade quantitation of small sample volumes. Her landmark PNAS paper entitled “Microfluidic Immunoassays as Rapid Saliva-Based Clinical Diagnostics” has been cited over 300 times
since 2007.
Amy has helped organize several conferences including the AES annual meeting and Gordon Research Conference on the Physics of Microfluidics. She has served as a mentor and role model for many young investigators who are following in her footsteps. Amy’s boundless energy and enthusiasm is infectious. We look forward to seeing Amy speak at SciX this fall in Minneapolis. By Ed Goluch, Chemical Engineering Dept, Northeastern University
