Chemistry (12) Hood College proposes to incorporate liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) instrumentation into its chemistry and biochemistry curriculum. LC/MS is an instrument that allows scientists to make discoveries in the fields of biology, biochemistry, polymer science, and chemistry. The importance of the development of the instrument and its continued impact on science was recognized in 2002 with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The implementation of LC/MS instrumentation in their research laboratories and in classes enrolling majors and non-majors (~300 students per year) has a significant influence on the education of their predominantly (70%) female population. Hands-on experience with LC/MS strengthen the preparation of Hood students for employment opportunities and graduate and professional programs as well as provide valuable research results to the broader scientific community.Hood's commitment to effective teaching and undergraduate research in collaborative, active environments are greatly impacted by the LC/MS instrument. By using the LC/MS from their freshman year to their senior year students gain valuable experience with this modern instrument in a variety of applications across the disciplines of biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. Research students apply their knowledge of LC/MS to a range of interdisciplinary research topics including the study of proteins, marine organisms, and biofuels. The progress and results of this project plan to be disseminated through presentations at regional and national conferences, as well as through professional journals.

化学 (12) 胡德学院提议将液相色谱/质谱 (LC/MS) 仪器纳入其化学和生物化学课程。 LC/MS 是一种让科学家能够在生物学、生物化学、高分子科学和化学领域取得发现的仪器。 2002 年诺贝尔化学奖表彰了该仪器开发的重要性及其对科学的持续影响。 在他们的研究实验室以及招收专业和非专业学生（每年约 300 名学生）的班级中实施 LC/MS 仪器对其以女性为主（70%）的教育产生了重大影响。 LC/MS 的实践经验加强了 Hood 学生为就业机会、研究生和专业课程做好准备，并为更广泛的科学界提供有价值的研究成果。Hood 致力于在协作、活跃的环境中进行有效的教学和本科生研究，这在很大程度上受到 LC/MS 仪器的影响。 通过从大一到大四使用 LC/MS，学生可以获得这种现代仪器在生物学、化学和生物化学学科的各种应用中的宝贵经验。 研究生将他们的 LC/MS 知识应用于一系列跨学科研究课题，包括蛋白质、海洋生物和生物燃料的研究。 该项目的进展和成果计划通过在区域和国家会议上的演讲以及专业期刊进行传播。
