Symposium on Molecular Imaging with Mass Spectrometry Techniques
Monday Oct. 31, 2016
8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
MD Anderson Cancer Center
Hickey Auditorium (R11.1400)
Main Building
1515 Holcombe Blvd.
Houston, TX
Full Spectrum Molecular Imaging in mass spectrometry combines and refines the best of several analytical techniques in a single instrument platform. This enables researchers to better understand cellular function and physiology or monitor the distribution of drug compounds throughout a tissue or organism. By integrating MALDI, DESI, ion mobility mass spectrometry and capable informatics workflows, a single system can provide a level of detail and molecular information that exceeds what is available from any single individual technique. Complementary to conventional histologic techniques and other molecular imaging methods, mass spectrometry imaging can provide powerful and unique insights in physiology, pathology and pharmacology. The Center for Radiation Oncology Research, through generous gifts from the E.L. Wiengand and James B. and Lois R. Archer Foundations, is not able to bring this platform to the MD Anderson scientific community and the Texas Medical Center. Please join us for a series of seminars on the use and advances in imaging mass spectrometry and discover how this technology can help you advance your research portfolio.
