A recent editorial article in the journal of Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, names BME Lampe Distinguished Professor Frances Ligler among a handful world-class female role models in analytical chemistry “whose excellence we aspire to emulate.” The article highlights how these female role models have accomplished many “firsts” in their own universities and countries, having been recognized by their respective countries’ premier scientific academies, and having contributed in major ways to their fields through seminal books and pioneering research.
The authors of the editorial are themselves four eminent professors of chemistry from four different countries: Antje J. Baeumner from the University of Regensburg in Germany, Hua Cui from the University of Science and Technology of China, Maria Cruz Moreno Bondi, Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, and Sabine Szunerits, Université de Lille in France.
