Center for Bio-Imaging Mass Spectrometry
The goal of the Bio Imaging Mass Spectrometry Initiative (BIMS) is to further the development of techniques, instrumentation and the fundamental understanding of mass spectrometry used to produce 2D and 3D images of biological samples. These meetings will also provide an outlet to discus success as well as trouble shoot difficulties encountered while undertaking projects related to this research. We look forward to seeing you there.
Seminar Series
All seminars are held on Tuesdays (10:00 - 11:00 a.m.) or Wednesdays (2:00 - 3:00 pm) in MS&E room 3201A. If you have a suggestion for a speaker or would like to volunteer to give a talk please contact Dr. Yanfeng Chen or Dr. Asiri S Galhena. All are welcome to attend.

Dr. Yanfeng Chen received a fellowship from the Young Scientist Program (YSP) of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) to present his work "Molecular Imaging and Identification in Disease Studies Using MALDI Mass Spectrometry" at 21st IUBMB & 12th FAOBMB International Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology held in Shanghai, China on August 2-7, 2009. His poster was voted as the 1st place winner of three YSP Best Poster Awards out of one hundred and twenty participants.
