ABM CONFERENCES ABM MEMBER EVENTS ABM Roundtable Discussion - August 2024 Roundtable Speaker Perceptions of Human Remains - Continued Following the overwhelming response to our March 27th session. We are pleased to announce an upcoming online Roundtable discussion on the topic of human remains in museums, cultural centers, and religious spaces. This session will offer an opportunity to examine the ongoing ethical and practical challenges surrounding the display, handling, storage, treatment, and scientific analysis of human remains. It will also provide a space to share diverse institutional experiences and foster thoughtful dialogue across disciplines. 
Our goal is to generate actionable insights that can support professionals navigating these responsibilities, and to encourage a respectful, informed approach to working with human remains in varied contexts. We welcome participants from across the field to join us for what promises to be a meaningful and necessary conversation. Explore PUBLICATIONS + PROJECTS

6ae33d3b-a39d-4728-81ab-dd57edc1e8fe Rozelle Greyling Student, University of Pretoria Pretoria, South Africa Previous Next All members MEMBER INFORMATION Rozelle Greyling holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (2021) and recently (2024) graduated cum laude from the University of Pretoria’s MSocSci Heritage and Cultural Sciences, (Heritage Conservation) programme. This pioneering programme, the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, has provided Greyling with a unique platform for her research on the conservation of fluid-preserved cadaveric collections, which include archaeological, anatomical, and pathological wet specimens. Greyling’s research aims to address the significant gaps in the knowledge of fluid preservation techniques in Africa, to contribute to the preservation and conservation of fluid-preserved collections in the fields of Medicine and Zoology. Her research aims to advance the understanding of these preservation methods and ensure the continued integrity and longevity of these invaluable collections within the broader context of heritage conservation.

b1d7bd96-196a-4c6f-adc2-976f4258cb14 Francesca Galluzzi Postdoctoral Researcher University of Bordeaux Bordeaux, France Previous Next All members MEMBER INFORMATION Dr Francesca Galluzzi is a postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bordeaux. Her BSc and MSc degree were in Science for Cultural Heritage analysis (University of Venice and Bologna). She earned her PhD in Chemical Science from the University of Bordeaux in 2021. The doctoral project was part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network TEMPERA, and it was focused on the development of new methodologies based on mass spectrometry for the analysis of proteinaceous compounds in different artistic materials. Her research interests include the characterisation of proteins collected at the trace level (following the bottom up and top-down approaches) and the investigation of chemical and structural modifications induced in proteins by processes of ageing and degradation (particularly cross-linking formations). ABM CONFERENCES ABM 2021 Poster Presenter Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to elucidate reticulations, interactions and conformational changes of proteins in tempera paintings Explore Full Abstract ABM MEMBER EVENTS PUBLICATIONS + PROJECTS Francesca Galluzzi, Stéphane Chaignepain, Julie Arslanoglu, Caroline Tokarski Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to elucidate reticulations, interactions and conformational changes of proteins in tempera paintings Little is known about structural alterations of proteins within the polymeric films of paints. For the first time, hydrogen‑deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) was implemented to explore the conformational alterations of proteins resulting from their interaction with inorganic pigments within the early stages of the paint film formation. Intact protein analysis and bottom-up electrospray-ionisation mass spectrometry strategies combined with progressively increasing deuterium incubation times were used to compare the protein structures of the model protein hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) extracted from newly dried non-pigmented films and newly dried films made from a freshly made mixture of HEWL with lead white pigment (2PbCO3 Pb(OH)2). The action of other pigments was also investigated, expanding the HDX study with a global approach to paint models of HEWL mixed with zinc white (ZnO), cinnabar (HgS) and red lead (Pb3O4) pigments. The results show structural modifications of HEWL induced by the interaction with the pigment metal ions during the paint formulation after drying and prior to ageing. Both the charge distribution of HEWL proteoforms, its oxidation rate and its deuterium absorption rate, were influenced by the pigment type, providing the first insights into the correlation of pigment type/metal cation to specific chemistries related to protein stability. Explore Catherine Gilbert, Vaclav Krupicka, Francesca Galluzi, Aleksandra Popowich, Stéphane Claverol, Julie Arslanoglu, Caroline Tokarski Species identification of ivory and bone museum objects using minimally invasive proteomics Ivory is a highly prized material in many cultures since it can be carved into intricate designs and have a highly polished surface. Due to its popularity, the animals from which ivory can be sourced are under threat of extinction. Identification of ivory species is not only important for CITES compliance, it can also provide information about the context in which a work was created. Here, we have developed a minimally invasive workflow to remove minimal amounts of material from precious objects and, using high-resolution mass spectrometry–based proteomics, identified the taxonomy of ivory and bone objects from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection dating from as early as 4000 B.C. We built a proteomic database of underrepresented species based on exemplars from the American Museum of Natural History, and proposed alternative data analysis workflows for samples containing inconsistently preserved organic material. This application demonstrates extensive ivory species identification using proteomics to unlock sequence uncertainties, e.g., Leu/Ile discrimination. Explore
