Lowell D. Kispert (1940–2026): A 40-Year Odyssey in Carotenoid EPR Spectroscopy

In memory of Prof. Lowell D. Kispert (June 9, 1940– February 8, 2026), his transformative contributions to the field of carotenoid radicals are recognized here. Although Prof. Kispert had been a pioneer in studying organic radicals with EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) since 1960s, his first major carotenoid-focused study entitled “Carotenoid cation radicals: electrochemical, optical, and EPR study” appeared…

Dr. Radtke receives a very promising impact score on the prestigious MOSAIC K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the NIH

Please congratulate Dr. Radtke in receiving a very promising impact score on the prestigious MOSAIC K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the NIH. Dr. Radtke will implement carotenoids as a biomarker for dietary intake in the primary care setting to support health-related behavior change in Food is Medicine interventions. Dr. Radtke (mentee) and Dr. Moran…
