Until 2012 the MSB symposium series (formerly HPCE) was driven by the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) composed of Jeff Chapman, Steven Cohen, Franta Foret, Andras Guttman, Stellan Hjerten, Franka Kalman, Barry Karger, Robert Kennedy, Andreas Manz, Michael Ramsey, Gerard Rozing, Frantisek Svec, Ed Yeung and Hanfa Zou. Symposium format and organization were along quite classical lines.
At MSB 2012 in Geneva, it was decided a new start should be made introducing new key concepts and a new philosophy by which future meetings of the series would be organized. The SAB was replaced by the Strategic Program Committee (SPC).
In 2018 the Society for Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis (SMSB) was founded and the SPC became the Board of Directors (BoD).
May this list of former members serve as a token of appreciation for their efforts and for making it possible for the SMSB to be a reality today.
