Professor Roy Gerona, UC San Francisco
“Known Unknowns, Unknown Unknowns, and Hi-Res Mass Spectrometry: A Chemical Detective Story” by Prof. Roy Gerona (University of California - San Francisco)
Dr. Roy Gerona specialized in biochemistry and molecular neuroscience, and clinical chemistry during his graduate and post-graduate training, respectively. He currently runs and directs the Clinical Toxicology and Environmental Biomonitoring Laboratory and the TB Hair Analysis Laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco. He divides his time in the application of mass spectrometry in four research areas- new psychoactive substance (NPS) analysis and surveillance, environmental chemical biomonitoring, MDR-TB therapeutic drug monitoring, and drug-microbiome interaction.
His laboratory is one of the first to use high-resolution mass spectrometry in analyzing NPS in biological samples to support surveillance work. He has conducted NPS surveillance in partnership with collaborators from federal agencies and various poison centers across the United States. His partnership with the US Drug Enforcement Administration and Department of Homeland Security is instrumental to the discovery and scheduling of several synthetic cannabinoids involved in mass outbreaks between 2012 and 2017. In 2017, he established the Psychoactive Surveillance Consortium and Analysis Network (P SCAN), an integrated NPS surveillance program that combines real time NPS testing using targeted and suspect screening approaches with comprehensive clinical data collection from paired biological samples in geographically representative medical centers to guide pharmacological profiling of prevalent and anticipated (“prophetic”) NPS. Most recently, the US Drug Enforcement Administration has renewed partnership with his laboratory to respond to NPS outbreaks in the United States. Dr. Gerona is also currently helping scientists and toxicologists at UP Manila in establishing the UP Drugs of Abuse Research Laboratory.

Dr. CHUN-HUNG HANS LIN, Academia Sinica (Taiwan)
40th PAASE Annual Scientific Conference Parallel Session: Chemistry & Biochemistry
July 29,2020
Chun-Hung Hans Lin received his B.S. in Chemistry from the National Taiwan University and obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry under the supervision of Professor Chi-Huey Wong at the Scripps Research Institute. He then carried out postdoctoral research with Professor Christopher Walsh at the Harvard Medical School. Afterwhich, he went home to Taiwan and accepted a position as Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute of Biological Chemistry, Academia Sinica, and rose through the ranks to Research Fellow. Currently, he is the Director of the Department of Academic Affairs and Instrument Service. He holds Adjunct Professor positions at the Institute of Biochemical Sciences and the Department of Chemistry, National Taiwan University, and at the Institute of Chemistry, University of the Philippines Los Baños.
Dr. Lin acquired several prestigious awards for his work, such as The Excellent Young Scientist Award, The Young Affiliate of TWAS (The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World), and the Outstanding Research Award of Ministry of Science and Technology. Research in his lab is focused on chemical biology that involves multi-disciplinary areas including glycobiology, enzymology, synthetic chemistry, and structural biology. Emphasis is stressed on (1) host/pathogen interplay in gut microbiota, and (2) development of enzyme inhibitors and molecular probes.
