The award recognizes a focused or singular Technologies & Johns Hopkins University achievement in fundamental or applied mass spectrometry. School of Medicine Previously known as the ASMS Award for a Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry, this award was renamed in 2018 to honor the memory of Professor John B.

Health where he was known as a dedicated mentor. The inaugural recipient of this award is Dr. Jeffrey Shabanowitz (University of Virginia). Dr. Shabanowitz is Principal Scientist in Professor Don Hunt’s laboratory at the University of Virginia, where he has coauthored more than 330 peer-reviewed scientific papers and is co-inventor on ten issued patents. He played a major role in development of peptide sequence analysis by tandem mass spectrometry. The methods and instrumentation he helped to develop underpin the field of proteomics, and have led to major breakthroughs, especially in immunology and epigenetics research. He has also been a valued mentor to dozens of graduate students, postdocs, and visiting scientists. 2019 John B.
