\nRemarks by Dr. Henrich at the March 22 awards dinner:
\n\u201cSince 2009, Sam Pardo has been an outstanding employee in the Health Science Center\u2019s Mass Spectrometry Laboratory. He doesn\u2019t blindly use a \u201cone size fits all\u201d approach, but instead carefully thinks through the plans for each analysis set to be sure that each investigator receives the most valuable, high-quality results that are possible. Beginning June 2014, the work environment in the lab changed dramatically as a supervisor left the university to take a position in industry. At that point, Sam was not only faced with the workload of two but a role that was substantially more diversified and challenging technically. Sam proved to be very capable of succeeding at this new challenge. His organizational and customer-relations skills, his dedication to the lab and his commitment to delivering the highest quality research services are hallmarks of Sam\u2019s work.\u201d
\nFrom the nominating letter by Linda J. Roman, Ph.D., associate professor,
\nBiochemistry, School of Medicine:
\n\u201cSam and I worked on a challenging project to identify phosphorylated residues in nitric oxide synthase in skeletal muscle using mass spectrometry. Sam\u2019s advice and attention to detail were invaluable as he found an error in a GenBank submitted sequence that misidentified a mouse sequence as that of a rat. If not for his perseverance in tracking inconsistencies, we might have concluded that this method was not suited for our protein.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
