Sheffield
Sheffield Hallam University and the British Mass Spectrometry Society (BMSS) in collaboration with the Mass Spectrometry Imaging Society (MSIS) announce the Ninth Mass Spectrometry Imaging Symposium, BMSS SIG 2023.
Hosted by the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre (BMRC) and the Centre for Mass Spectrometry Imaging (CMSI) which forms part of the world-leading Sheffield Multimodal Imaging Centre (SMIC), this event attracts over 150 delegates from academia and industry.
BMSS SIG showcases the latest research and technical advances in MS Imaging, featuring presentations from internationally renowned scientists and forefront researchers. This year we would like to introduce key talks from Professor Andreas Römpp from the University of Bayreuth and Dr Philippa Hart from the Medicines Discovery Catapult.
