The Badu-Tawiah Research Group

Job well done, Purva! 🎉👏🏻

Kudos to Purva! She received the Boehringer Ingelheim Fellowship to present at the 2026 Gordon Research Conference on gaseous ion chemistry, was named 1 of 6 Amgen Women in Chemistry awardees from 100+ applicants nationwide, and placed 2nd at Ohio State’s Hayes Research Forum. 🎉

🎉Congratulations to Dr. Monica Duarte and the team on their new publication on SARS-CoV-2 detection using a paper-based immunoassay platform. Impressive work advancing accessible diagnostics. #MassSpectrometry #PSMS #Diagnostics More info: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Excited to share that PantroniX LLC, founded by Dr. Abraham Badu-Tawiah, has received State of Ohio funding to support the commercialization of universal ionization sources. Congratulations to the PantroniX team 👏🏻 Read more development.ohio.gov/home/news-and-…

✨Our group’s year-end dinner✨ We’re grateful for everything we worked through this year — the challenges, the progress, and the growth. Now we’re heading into a new year ready for more learning and momentum. Thank you to Dr. Badu-Tawiah for the great dinner. 🥂

She did it!! 🎉 Congratulations, Dr. Rebekah Strong, on defending your dissertation today! Best wishes as you start an amazing new journey! 💪🏻🎓

🎉 Huge congratulations to Kavya and Jonathan on their latest publication! They present an electro-oxidative nESI-MS platform that enables electro-catalytic reactions for analytical measurements and efficient reaction screening. Here’s the link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great job to Ruth and Chris for their oral presentations at the Anachem Symposium 2025! Your hard work truly shines. #AnaChem2025

Wrapping up an amazing time at OMSS 2025! 🎉 Here are some highlights from the poster sessions. Big congrats to Adam for his oral talk and to Purva for taking 2nd place in the Best Poster Awards! 👏

Dr. Badu-Tawiah presenting his research on ambient ionization and advances in ionization methods at the Ohio Mass Spectrometry Symposium 2025, with Panoptic MS as the highlight of his talk. #OMSS2025 #MassSpectrometry #AmbientIonization #AnalyticalChemistry

🎉 Congratulations to Purva, Dmytro, and Alex on the new publication! Dynamic Spray MS is enabling direct analysis of complex mixtures — first universal ion source detecting both polar and non-polar compounds in a single emitter. Exciting work ahead! 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Purva presenting her awesome work at ASMS Asilomar 2025, highlighting the applications of dynamic spray MS in forensic science! 👩🏾‍🔬👏 Big congrats to her for receiving a travel award! #MassSpectrometry #ASMS #Asilomar #Forensics #Security

🎉 Congrats to Niraj and the team on our new paper! We present a fusion of plasma microdroplet ionization with liquid chromatography for post-column epoxidation—advancing lipidomics without requiring any specialized MS modifications. Read paper here👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Chris presenting at the recently concluded Turkey Run Analytical Chemistry Conference 2025! He shared his work on detecting sugar isomers in MS negative ion mode and using an in-house spectral library to improve disaccharide isomer discrimination.

⚡️New paper from our group! Congrats to Riley and team 🎉 We show how voltage switching boosts discrimination of malaria samples using the nESI/APCI direct infusion MS platform—enabling faster, more reliable analysis. Read here 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Proud of our juniors for rocking the Analytical Division First-Year Oral Posters! 💡👏 Keep pushing boundaries in your research! #AnalyticalChemistry #MassSpecLab #Buckeyes #OhioState
