Student Travel Awards will be available Native MS Workshop on July 23.
Understanding the global biomolecular structure space is an unquestionably important goal for endeavors ranging from the development of new biomaterials to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. This conference will bring together a wide array of experts that aim to both develop and apply new mass spectrometry (MS) methods in structural biology and biophysics, broadly defined. The timeliness of this conference coincides with the rapidly expanding role of MS in structural biology, which has already made great strides in extracting the details of biomolecule structures from mixtures, using orders of magnitude less sample than other structural probes. Advancing Mass Spectrometry for Biophysics and Structural Biology 2023 will showcase the best science and promote an exchange of ideas between leaders and new-comers to the biology/mass spectrometry interface, in order to propel this exciting topic toward future successes.

Registration for the the 2019 Advancing Mass Spectrometry for Biophysics & Structural Biology Conference is NOW OPEN. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
This meeting will be held at the University of Massachusetts Amherst from July 21-25, 2019. More details about the program, travel, accommodations, etc. can be found by following the link above. There are a limited number of on-campus housing slots available, so please register soon.
This conference is designed to bridge the worlds of biomolecular chemistry, physics and mass spectrometry (MS) by bringing together international leaders from both industry and academia to discuss cutting-edge measurement science. The Advancing Mass Spectrometry meeting will showcase the best science and promote an exchange of ideas between leaders and newcomers to the biology/mass spectrometry interface. We have an outstanding list of invited speakers.
Presentation abstracts can be submitted via the registration website. Both oral and poster presentation slots will be available. The meeting is an excellent venue for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to present their latest work. Travel awards for students will be available on a competitive basis.
Please consider joining us for what should be an outstanding meeting. We hope to see you in Amherst in July 2019.
This August, at the ACS Fall Meeting in San Diego, Jim Prell and Mike Marty will be hosting a multi-session symposium entitled “Mass Spectrometry of Biomolecular Assemblies,” which will feature some of the latest developments in ion mobility and mass spectrometry. We aim to have a broad spectrum of topics and speakers, so we encourage submissions from graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and industry professionals. Abstracts can be contributed at the ACS website, with a submission deadline of Monday, March 18th. We anticipate approximately 3 half-day sessions. There are several other sessions at the meeting that will be of interest to the MS community, including “Interface between experiments and modeling in unraveling the physical and chemical properties of charged droplets” and a symposium honoring Richard Zare.
Please join us in sunny San Diego! We’d love to see you there.
9am-noon, 1pm- 4pm, Sunday, July 21, 2019 no registration fee but you must register when you register for AMS https://twitter.com/NativeMassSpec
Native mass spectrometry is a growing area in the mass spectrometry community. Native MS is making significant contributions to structural biology. Because of its ease of application and broad applicability, native MS often leads and guides an integrated approach that eventually uses other structural biology tools. This pre-AMS workshop is sponsored by the NIH P41 “Native MS Guided Structural Biology”. The workshop is designed to introduce the broad field to new practitioners of native MS. Topics to be covered include sample preparation for native MS; instrumentation used for native MS – how does it differ from other MS; spray conditions to keep soluble complexes native; spray conditions for membrane protein complexes (micelles, liposomes, nanodiscs); activation methods for native MS (CID, CIU, SID, UVPD, ETD/ECD/EID); ion mobility for native MS; online separations approaches coupled to native MS (IEX, SEC, CE); software tools for native MS; case studies for protein:protein, protein ligand, RNA: protein, DNA:protein, and membrane protein complexes.
