BALTIMORE, MD, July 17, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Ann B. Moser with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Ms. Moser celebrates many years' experience in her professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes she has accrued in her field. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Newly appointed associate professor of neurology in the department of neurogenetics at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and the John Hopkins Medical Institutions in 2017, Ms. Moser has been employed at the Kennedy Krieger Institute since 1976. A former research associate in neurology, assistant in neurology and senior technician on campus, she also spent several years working in Boston as a senior technician at Massachusetts General Hospital, at McLean Hospital as a biochemistry technician, and at Harvard University as a technician while she was still pursuing her degree.
For more than 40 years, Ms. Moser and her late husband Dr. Hugo W. Moser investigated lipid metabolism in inborn errors of metabolism. The original methods for quantitation of very long chain fatty acids in plasma and cells by gas chromatography that are used to diagnose X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) and related peroxisomal disorders were developed in their laboratory at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Their research team also developed, tested and validated the methodology for newborn screening of these diseases by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using punches from Guthrie blood spot cards. Her research work on new therapies for X-ALD continues at the Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at the Kennedy Krieger Institute.
Ms. Moser has held a Bachelor of Arts in biochemistry from Radcliffe College since 1961. Since that time, she has authored and co-authored more than 200 scholarly articles in professional journals on various topics. She has also contributed to close to 30 book chapters and monographs and has served as a peer reviewer for several journals, including the Journal of Neurology, the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, and Lipids in Health and Disease. Ms. Moser has participated in dozens of national and international workshops and seminars, has served as a conference organizer and session chair, co-investigator on many grants between 1962 and 2002 and has been a co-founder and a co-director of the Peroxisomal Diseases Laboratory since 1983.
A longstanding member of multiple organizations, including the American Society for Neurochemistry, the American Society for Human Genetics, the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids, and the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors in Metabolism, Ms. Moser is also active in her community, serving on boards of a number of local organizations. She is a member of several family support organizations and is on the scientific advisory boards of the United Leukodystrophy Foundation and the Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders.
As co-investigator on multiple grants throughout her career from the National Institutes of Health and other organizations, Ms. Moser has also received several awards and recognitions for her work. More recently, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Kennedy Krieger Institute in 2017. However, what she is most proud of has been the fact that she helped to develop newborn screening for X-ALD, which was her late husband's dream, and that she has continued to implement X-ALD newborn screening since his passing. Married to her husband for 44 years, Ms. Moser has two children, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She has been showcased in the 64th edition of Who's Who in America and the 24th edition of Who's Who in the East.
In recognition of outstanding contributions to her profession and the Marquis Who's Who community, Ann B. Moser has been featured on the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement website. Please visit www.ltachievers.com for more information about this honor.
