About the Conference
Immunology is an enormous field, which has benefitted greatly from incorporating a range of mass spectrometry-based experimental strategies in its arsenal. However, there is still a significant gap between what the mass spectrometry community can offer and what the immunology community uses routinely. One of the goals of this meeting is to bring together two groups of researchers: those who are actively involved in method development and those who are the end-users of the MS technology to encourage a cross-talk and ideas sharing. A meeting bringing together researchers from a diverse set of immunology sub-fields and MS practitioners that are actively engaged in developing novel experimental tools for the immunology research will allow the relevant expertise to be shared and have a synergistic effect on catalyzing the research progress across the entire field. Importantly, the conference will be of great interest to both academic and industrial researchers and is expected to generate a great deal of interest even among researchers not involved directly in immunology work.
