The Program Committee is pleased to announce the call for papers for the Pittcon 2018 Technical Program.

Abstracts are currently being accepted for contributed oral and poster presentations in all areas of analytic chemistry and applied spectroscopy in applications such as, but not limited to, environmental science, food science, energy research, and informatics. Pittcon has also developed an extensive program in the life sciences and is seeking contributions in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, neurochemistry, high throughput screening, and drug discovery.

Technical Program Chairman, Annette Wilson, commented, “We have been working for the past several years to coordinate the entire program – the Technical Program, Short Courses, and Conferee Networking – in order to give our conferees their best educational and networking experience.” She added, “In addition to requesting papers in the core scientific areas, we are especially interested in submissions related to “hot” topics and emerging trends in bioanalytical, food safety, forensics, pharmaceutical and nano-technology.”

All abstracts must be submitted electronically through the Pittcon website. The submission deadline to be included in the first round of reviews is Monday, August 14, 2017. Abstracts received after this date will be placed on a waiting list.

Highlights from this year's Pittcon can be found here.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.PittconPittcon is one of the largest conferences and exhibitions dedicated to laboratory science. It brings together professionals and innovators in analytical chemistry, physics, and biology, offering a platform to explore the latest scientific tools and technologies. From cutting-edge laboratory instruments to emerging research trends, Pittcon is a must-attend event for professionals in research and development. GenomicsGenomics is the study of genomes, focusing on the sequencing, analysis, and interpretation of genetic material. It is key in understanding genetic diseases, evolutionary biology, and personalized medicine. Techniques like next-generation sequencing (NGS) are commonly used in genomics research. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best genomics tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Drug DiscoveryDrug discovery is the process of identifying potential new medications, involving stages such as target identification, compound screening, and preclinical development. It relies on cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence, and molecular modeling to accelerate the identification of drug candidates. Drug discovery plays a pivotal role in developing new therapies for diseases ranging from cancer to rare genetic disorders. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the latest drug discovery technologies, compare options, check customer feedback, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.SpectroscopySpectroscopy is a technique that analyzes the interaction of light with matter to study molecular properties, concentrations, and structural information. Widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental analysis, spectroscopy offers insights into molecular composition and helps identify unknown compounds. It plays a key role in quality control, research, and diagnostics. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to compare spectroscopy tools, read reviews, and get prices directly from manufacturers.Forensic InvestigationForensic investigation is a diverse collection of scientific techniques and methods for the identification and characterization of chemicals relating to crime scene investigations.EnergyAnalytic ChemistryFood ScienceEnvironmental Science
