Latest Conference Coverage

At ASMS 2023, LCGC spoke with Erin Baker of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This segment previews one of several ASMS interviews that were conducted at the conference.

At ASMS 2023, Bayan Almasri of the University of Lille proposed a combination of techniques for the deciphering of insoluble polyester polymer structure.

Organoids are predicted to become important tools for personalized medicine and are alternatives to animal models. Separation science and mass spectrometry (MS) are key approaches for studying organoids and organ‑on-a-chip systems. Applications include the study of organoid drug metabolism and biomarker discovery.

On June 7th from 8:30–10:30 am at ASMS, an oral session on drug discovery and development will take place. We preview this session here.

John McLean previews his plenary lecture at HPLC 2023, where he will describe emerging analytical strategies using liquid chromatography–ion mobility–mass spectrometry (LC–IM–MS) for untargeted molecular phenomics in systems, synthetic, and chemical biology.

Measuring chemical exposure is extremely challenging due to the range and number of anthropogenic molecules encountered in our daily lives, as well as their complex transformations throughout the body. To broadly characterize how chemical exposures influence human health, a combination of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, endogenous metabolomic, and xenobiotic measurements must be performed. However, while genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses have rapidly progressed over the last two decades, advancements in instrumentation and computations for nontargeted xenobiotic and endogenous small molecule measurements are still greatly needed.

ASMS 2023 is excited to be hosting its annual conference in Houston, Texas. Here is what to expect on Sunday evening.

We offer a sneak peek at some of the award presentations that will be taking place at the ASMS 2023 Conference this week.

ASMS will conclude its conference at the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) on Thursday June 8th, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm. The HMNS is known for their paleontology display, giving attendees the opportunity to embark on a one-of-a-kind prehistoric journey while socializing with friends and colleagues.

The upcoming 2023 ASMS Conference will feature two concurrent tutorial sessions on Sunday, June 4, from 5:00–5:45 pm, along with a Special Keynote Section from 5:45–6:30 pm that will feature local activists from the Houston community.
