Cath erine Fenselau is professor of
Chemistry and Biochemistry at the
Universit y of Maryland, and a memb er
of the Greenebaum Cancer Center at
the University of Maryland School of
Medicine. Her current research
pro gram uses proteomics strategies to
study th e mechanisms by which cancer
cells become resist ant to anti-cancer
dru gs. She is a leader in the
development of mass spectrometry for
rapid identific ation of airborne
microorganisms . She is associate editor
of Analytical Chemistry and was the
founding editor of Biomedical Mass
Spectrometry (now Journal of Mass
Spectrometry). She has received both
national and international awards for
her scholarship and for her scientific
leadership. Fenselau grew up in
Nebra ska, received her A.B. from Bryn
Mawr College in 1961 and earned a Ph.D.
