Regional Mass Spectrometry Imaging Spring Workshop

We are pleased to invite you to the in-person Regional Mass Spectrometry Imaging Spring Workshop, a conference style meeting hosted by Swedish Pharmaceutical Society and the newly formed International Mass Spectrometry Imaging Society (IMSIS) which is comprised of Mass Spectrometry Imaging Society (Europe) and Imaging Mass Spectrometry Society (US).

The scientific program will aim to reflect cutting edge innovations and current developments in mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), alongside new applications in various areas. Our goal for this workshop is to promote and educate academic, industry and government scientists on the latest applications and innovations in MSI applied to biomedical, biological and data science research areas.

We are excited to have a unique three-day scientific agenda with oral presentations, workshop discussions, and poster presentations covering the latest developments and applications of MSI by leading and upcoming scientists from academic, government, and industry labs.

Welcome!
