American Editor, for his diligent and creative efforts on behalf of the journal. Dan's research and expertise in enantioselective molecular recognition and separations have enabled the journal to benefit immensely from his knowledge of and contacts within the scientific community. His contributions have helped establish Chirality as the premier journal in its field. Dan Armstrong first developed the field of pseudophase separations using micelles and cyclodextrins. He elucidated the chiral recognition mechanisms of cyclodextrin and did some of the earliest molecular modeling of these systems. Subsequently, he introduced and evaluated macrocyclic antibiotics in an analogous manner. Dan's work has affected many fields of scientific endeavor and was a major force in the FDA issuance of a policy statement for the development of stereoisomeric drugs. Among Dan's many creative contributions to the journal were the concept of special issues built around Chirality medal winners, as well as the delivery of the first three such issues.
As warmly as we welcome Dr. Nina Berova as the new North American Editor for Chirality, so do we extend an equally warm thanks to Dan for energetically and effectively serving as an advocate for this journal in the scientific community. We know that he will serve equally well in his present capacity as Editor for the separations section of Analytical Chemistry.
