41st International Symposium on Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis
Welcome to the 41st International Symposium on Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis!
MSB 2025 will take place May 18-21, 2025 at the Memorial Union at Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona. The scientific committee is working to create an exciting forum where researchers from around the world will discuss their latest findings in areas of microscale separations and bioanalysis. Many exciting session topics and networking opportunities are being developed, so please check back with us often!
The Society for Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis is striving to build a diverse, inclusive and respected community of scientists. We are working to ensure the opportunity for these scientists, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, geographic location, ethnicity, race, or other identifier, to participate at the annual MSB meeting and through SMSB leadership.
We are thrilled to welcome MSB 2025 attendees to the beautiful Arizona State University Tempe campus. It is situated in the heart of Tempe, close to several hotels and restaurants, just a few minutes from the Phoenix Sky Harbor international airport. You may also take advantage to explore the beautiful Arizona Desert including other nature’s wonders such as the Grand Canyon!

Alexandra RosArizona State University
Alexandra Ros is professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University. She is known for her work on microfluidic platforms and their bioanalytical applications. Throughout her career at the interface between chemistry, biophysics and engineering, Dr. Ros has developed microfluidic separations systems using electrokinetic approaches for biomolecules, organelles and cells and advanced hyphenated analytical systems. She also contributed microfluidic techniques for protein crystallography, including crystallization screening devices, and innovative sample delivery systems for XFELs and novel serial crystallography approaches.
Chris HarrisonSan Diego State University
Chris Harrison is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at San Diego State University. Dr. Harrison is know for his work in capillary electrophoresis, largely focused on the development and modification of capillary surface coatings for the control and optimization of separations of biomolecules. He is also known for his development of materials and teaching approaches in analytical chemistry.
Mark A. Hayes Arizona State University
Mark A. Hayes is a professor in the School of Molecular Science at Arizona State University, where his research centers on exploiting gradients in novel configurations for separations. He graduated from Penn State University, studying under Professor Andrew G. Ewing, and postdoc’d with Dr. Werner Kuhr at the University of California. He held the W. W. Clyde Visiting Chair at University of Utah and is the recipient of the A.A. Benedetti-Pichler and FACSS Distinguished Service Awards, and was a finalist for the SciX Conference Innovation Award. He currently is founder and interim CEO of Hayes Diagnostics, Inc., a startup company based on technology developed at ASU. He has served as Program, Governing Board, Long Range Planning and Marketing Chair for FACSS and Councilor, Vice-President and President of the AES Electrophoresis Society and Chair of the ACS ANYL Division. He has mentored over one hundred twenty-five undergraduate and graduate students, producing thirty doctorates, supporting them towards prestigious fellowships (NSF, Kirkbright, ACS, Fulbright, FLAS and local awards).
