In order to start this new cycle of seminars in the WG HRMET (ANSES working group on HRMS and metabolomics), I would like to invite you to listen Jon Wong and Jian Wang on the use and value of HRMS to improve health surveillance.

The seminar will be in English.

- Jon is a researcher at the US FDA (food and drug administration) and a specialist in mass spectrometry and analysis of contaminants and pesticide residues in food https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jon-Wong-4

Jon Wong is a Research Chemist with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition located in College Park, Maryland, USA.  He was a Chemist at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms from 1997-2002 and has been at FDA since 2002.  His work has focused on the development and validation of multiresidue pesticide methods using gas and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.  In the last ten years, he and Dr. Jian Wang from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, have collaborated and developed high resolution mass spectrometry workflows to analyze and screen for pesticides, mycotoxins, and veterinary drugs in food and other agricultural matrices.   Dr. Wong has BS degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from the University of California at Davis, a MS degree in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University, and a PhD in Agricultural and Environmental Chemistry from UC Davis.  He is a Board member of the AOAC Official Methods Board Committee and the North America Chemical Residue Workshop, an Associate Editor for the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture, and an Editorial Advisory Board member of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. 

- Jian Wang is a researcher at the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) also specializing in mass spectrometry and analysis of contaminants and pesticide residues in food https://profils-profiles.science.gc.ca/fr/profil/dr-jian-wang-phd?wbdisable=true

Dr. Jian Wang received his PhD from University of Alberta. He has been working as a Research Scientist at the Calgary Laboratory, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, since 2002. He is in charge of Research and Development Unit in Calgary Laboratory, CFIA. His scientific expertise resides on research and method development using UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS, UHPLC/ESI QqTOF and UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap for analysis of chemical contaminant residues including antibiotics, pesticides, etc. in food. He, along with Dr Jon Wong, FDA, and many other colleagues, is keen to promote Non-target Data Acquisition for Target Analysis (nDATA) using high resolution mass spectrometry for enhanced monitoring program of a large number of chemical contaminants and for flexible testing scope to increase sample throughput. Dr Wang also carries on research on food authenticity based on HRMS and metabolomics. Dr Wang is a member of Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR).
