Professor David S. Hage is the James Hewett University Professor and a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His research interests involve the design and use of new affinity-based separations and methods in high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and other systems for the study or analysis of complex samples. Specific interests include chromatographic-based immunoassays, the study of biological interactions by employing affinity-based separation methods, the production of new supports or immobilization schemes for affinity-based methods, and the creation of miniaturized separation platforms for personalized medicine and environmental studies.
Prof. Hage is the author of over 350 research publications, reviews, and book chapters, including the Handbook of Affinity Chromatography. He is an AAAS Fellow, a member of the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry, and the Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Chromatography B. His research in analytical and bioanalytical chemistry has been recognized by his receipt of such honors as the American Chemical Society Chromatography Award, the University of Nebraska Outstanding Research and Creative Activity Award, the ISMR/Pierce Award in Affinity Technology, the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science, and the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Young Investigator Award.
Prof. Hage is also known for his efforts in education in analytical chemistry. For instance, he is the lead author of the textbook Analytical Chemistry and Quantitative Analysis, and he is a co-author or contributor to many other texts in analytical chemistry or related fields. His work in education and mentoring has been recognized by the College Distinguished Teaching Award, Excellence in Graduate Education Award, and Lily Sands Legacy Award from the University of Nebraska. He has also recently received the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry Award for Distinguished Contributions to Education and the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Award for Outstanding Contributions to Education.
