Mass Spectrometry in the Health and Life Sciences: Molecular and Cellular Proteomics

August 18–22, 2019
San Francisco

The symposium presents the most up-to-date forum to learn of the remarkable advances in cell and human biology revealed by ever more innovative and powerful mass spectrometric technologies.

Program speakers have pioneered these major contributions to both methodology development and the challenging problems currently faced in cell biology and medicine. Discussions of methodological advances will be juxtaposed with presentations from biological perspectives that describe the role they play in addressing challenging problems and opportunities in protein biology and proteomics. These themes focus attention on the articulation of urgent needs and unsolved problems, as well as on many major successes in deciphering global composition, dynamics and function in virtually all areas of biological research.

See abstracts for each session in the symposium's supplement to Molecular and Cellular Proteomics.
