Call the section answering line at (513) 622-3353 or e-mail cintacs.im@pg.com
Include your name (complete with correct spelling), phone number and affiliation.
Please specify if this is your first Cincinnati ACS meeting when making
your reservation. All reservations must be received by noon, Monday, November
13. If you have any difficulties, please call Ms. Debbie Lewis at (513)
622-3353. As a reminder, if you decide you must miss a meeting after you
have made reservations, please call to cancel. If you do not cancel, the
Section will have to charge you because it will have been charged by the
hotel. Payment will be received at the door. Guests are always welcome;

The Vernon Manor Hotel is located at the corner of Burnet and Oak St. in Corryville, north of downtown and not far from the University of Cincinnati.
Directions: From I 75, take the Hopple Street exit and turn left at the light. You will pass over the highway. At the next light go "straight" (straight here is really about a 45 degree turn to the left). You are now on Martin Luther King Drive. Continue up King to the top of the hill. From there, continue east past the University of Cincinnati, and then about 1 more mile to Burnet Street. Turn right, and proceed to Oak Street (about 3 blocks). The hotel is on the northeast corner of the intersection, with entrance off of Oak Street, and parking in the rear.
From I71 southbound: get off at the Taft Street exit, exit 3. At the second light (by the White Castle) turn right onto Reading Road. Follow Reading north approximately two block; turn left on Oak Street. The hotel will be two blocks, on your right.
From I71 northbound: get off at the Reading Road exit.
Join Reading Road north and proceed past Taft Street to Oak Street.
Turn left on Oak; the hotel will be two blocks, on your right.

(1953), M.D., Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
(1957). Medical Intern, Baltimore City Hospitals (1957-8), Postdoctoral
Fellow at N.I.H., Cambridge University, UK, and
University of Pennsylvania (1958-1965). Faculty, University of
Pennsylvania and staff member Institute for Cancer Research,
Fox Chase (1965-1981). Professor of Biological Chemistry/Chemistry,
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (1981-present).
Number of publications, 248. Current research: application of
kinetic and magnetic resonance methods to studies of enzyme
mechanisms.
Mildvan's banquet talk, entitled "Experiences in Mildred Cohn's Laboratory",
will describe his scientific, sociological, and
humanistic memories and those of other students, fellows, and faculty
members who were part of Mildred Cohn's magnetic
resonance group in the Johnson Research Foundation, between 1963 and
1967.
About the Awardee
Mildred Cohn was born in New York City on July 12, 1913. Professor
Cohn has been a pioneer in
several important areas of biological research such as using isotopes
to investigate metabolic processes and enzyme
mechanisms and applying NMR and EPR to investigate metabolism and metabolic
intermediates. More generally, her work
has had impact upon research areas ranging from cancer to biological
NMR. Her scientific contributions to these areas resulted
in numerous awards and honors including: The American Chemical Society
Garvan Medal (1963), The Franklin Institute
Cresson Medal (1975), the National Medal of Science (1982), The Magnetic
Resonance in Biology Founders Medal (1994)
and The Protein Society Stein-Moore Award (1997). In 1971, she
was elected to membership in The National Academy of
Sciences.
Her educational background includes a B.A. from Hunter College and a
Ph.D. from Columbia University. She has held
faculty positions at Washington University School of Medicine, The
Institute for Cancer Research at Fox Chase Cancer Center
and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Professor
Cohn is currently Benjamin Rush Professor Emerita of
Physiological Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. Currently,
her research interest involves investigation of metabolites
as potential anti-cancer agents in tumors as monitored by in vivo NMR
and other techniques.
