Chemometrics Open Day 2023

Il Gruppo Divisionale di Chemiometria della Divisione di Chimica Analitica della Società Chimica Italiana organizza un appuntamento per l’approfondimento di tematiche di interesse chemiometrico: Chemometrics Open Day – La Chemiometria oggi, che si svolgerà giovedì 9 febbraio 2023 dalle ore 9.00.
Alla opening lecture del prof. Telmo Pievani (filosofo della Scienza, evoluzionista e divulgatore scientifico), seguirà una sessione di presentazioni e testimonianze dell’utilizzo e applicazione della chemiometria in vari contesti industriali ed infine un momento di discussione.

Informazioni e form per la registrazione all’evento sono disponibili al seguente link: https://www.gruppochemiometria.it/index.php/chemometrics-open-day

Identification of photodegradation products of Escitalopram

We have developed a new analytical method for the identification of photodegradation products of Escitalopram, details are published here: Termopoli, V., Consonni, V., Ballabio, D., Todeschini, R., Orlandi, M., Gosetti, F.

MICHEM @ XXIX Congresso della Divisione di Chimica Analitica

We were at the XXIX Congresso della Divisione di Chimica Analitica (MIlazzo, 11 – 15 Settembre), where Roberto presented the study “The cluster validity indices: a comprehensive review and multiple comparison by chemometrics methods”, Fabio “Identification of photodegradation products of escitalopram in surface water by HPLC-MS/MS” and Veronica won the best poster award for the category forense e tossicologia “From the streets to the law-enforcement authorities: a rapid and sensitive uhplc-ms/ms method for the determination of 13 illicit substances in drug seizures”.

Giacomo Baccolo PhD defense

Today Giacomno Baccolo successfully defended his PhD thesis: “Chemometrics approaches for the automatic analysis of metabolomics GC-MS data”. His thesis deals with the presentation of a new approach called AutoDise to extract meaningful chemical signals from GC-MS data in an automatic way.

ChemTastesDB: database for molecular tastants

ChemTastesDB is a database that includes curated information of 2944 molecular tastants. For each molecule the following information is provided: name, PubChem CID, CAS registry number, canonical SMILES string, class taste. The molecular structure in the HyperChem (.hin) format of each chemical is provided. The database is now available on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/5747393#.Yhnx8ujMKUk
