Csaba Horváth, the Roberto C. Goizueta Professor of Chemical Engineering, received two prestigious awards this spring: the 2001 Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) Award for outstanding contributions to biomolecular technologies and applications, and the 2001 American Chemical Society (ACS) Award in Separations Science and Technology sponsored by IBC Advanced Technologies, Inc. and Millipore Corporation.
Horváth was selected for the $10,000 ABRF Award for his "outstanding body of work in advancing the theory and practice of molecular separations techniques." He was given the award at the annual ABRF meeting on Feb. 26 in San Diego, California, where he gave a presentation titled "From GC to CEC: The Evolution of Modern Chromatography." Horváth received the $5,000 ACS Award, which recognizes "outstanding accomplishments in fundamental or applied research directed to separations science and technology," at the 221st ACS National Meeting on April 3 in San Diego.
Horváth pioneered the discovery and development of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry and is a foundation of modern biotechnology. He constructed the first high-pressure liquid chromatograph and demonstrated HPLC's potential for fast separation of biological substances.
