There has also been a change in this year’s format and the meeting program is designed to appeal to users of mass spectrometers in academia, industry and hospitals alike. With  two opening lectures on the Monday evening, panel discussions including The Delivery (or lack of) of Biomarker Discovery and a seasoned debate on The Future of Immunoassay in Clinical Analysis on the Tuesday as well a special Mass Spectrometry Training course for biomedical and clinical scientists on the Wednesday, this years meeting promises to deliver something for everyone within the Mass Spectrometry community.
 
We will also be running our very popular Introduction to Mass Spectrometry course on Monday 9th September. Registration for this course is available via the main meeting Registration form. Please note, registration for this course does not include registration for the main meeting and vice-versa.
