Mass Spectrometry in the Health and Life Sciences
The 14th International Symposium on Mass Spectrometry in the Health and Life Sciences
Aug. 14–18, 2022 | Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, Mass.
This five-day hybrid symposium will be held at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass., and provides the option to register for in-person attendance or virtual participation. The symposium will be an international forum for discussion of the remarkable advances in cell and human protein biology revealed by ever-more-innovative and powerful mass spectrometric technologies.
The presenters we’ve invited are pioneers in the field: Some have made major contributions to the development of methodologies, while others have applied proteomic techniques to solve major problems facing cell biology and medicine.
The symposium will juxtapose sessions about methodological advances with sessions about the roles those advances play in solving problems and seizing opportunities to understand the composition, dynamics and function of cellular machinery in numerous biological contexts. In addition to celebrating these successes, we also intend to articulate urgent, unmet needs and unsolved problems that will drive the field in the future.
In addition to talks by invited plenary and session speakers, short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts.
All talks and posters will be presented in person. Participants can register to attend the symposium in person or virtually — virtual registration provides access to the talks only.
