Scientific Advisory Board
Ken Shea, PhD: Professor and past Chairman of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine
Dr. Shea has almost 25 years of experience in molecular imprinting and is
currently working on imprinting peptides using metal coordination. Dr. Shea
did his graduate work in Physical; Organic Chemistry at the
Pennsylvania State University. Following postdoctoral
studies at the California Institute of Technology, he joined the faculty at
the University of California, Irvine in 1974, where he is currently
Professor of Chemistry. His research interests are in synthetic and mechanistic
organic chemistry and polymer and materials chemistry. He has served on the
scientific advisory board of the Society for Molecular Imprinting since
1997.
Frantisek Svec, PhD: Professor, University of California, Berkeley
Dr.
Svec received both B.S. in chemistry and Ph.D. degree in polymer chemistry
from the Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague (Czech Republic) in 1965
and 1969, respectively. In 1976 he joined the Institute of Macromolecular
Chemistry of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences where he was promoted to
the position of the Head of Department and the Scientific Secretary of the
Institute. He accepted an offer and joined faculty at the Cornell University
in 1992. Since 1997, he is appointed at the University of California,
Berkeley. He is also visiting professor of analytical chemistry at the
University of Innsbruck, Austria and staff scientist in the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory. Dr. Svec is the author or co-author of over
300 scientific publications, he edited 2 books, and authored over 70
patents. He is Senior Editor of the Journal of Separation Science and member
of editorial boards of a number of renowned journals such as Journal of
Chromatography A, Electrophoresis, Applied Macromolecular Chemistry and
Engineering, and Chinese Journal of Chromatography. In 2003 he was elected
the President of the California Separation Science Society.
He is best known for
his research in the area of macroporous polymers in different shapes such as
beads, flat sheets, and in particular monoliths. His studies involve use of
these materials in numerous applications including supports for solid phase
chemistry, gas and liquid chromatography, electrochromatography, enzyme
immobilization, and microfluidics.
