MALDI Imaging Workshop – Workflow and Applications

 

  • Introduction

    MALDI Imaging is a mass spectrometry-based technology that allows determination of the spatial distribution of biomolecules such as lipids, peptides and proteins, and drugs present in tissue sections. It enables direct analysis of thousands of biomolecules in intact tissues while maintaining the cellular and molecular integrity. One of the unique advantages of MALDI imaging is the correlation of the mass spectrometric data with conventional histology, thereby facilitating the mapping of molecular alteration to the underlying pathological condition and deciphering tumor heterogeneity. It is a powerful tool for applications in basic research and in clinical settings. MALDI Imaging has been used for analysis of many different tissues, including tumors for molecular classification as well as to discover biomarkers to predict prognosis and therapy response. This workshop is a practical course and hands-on training for both beginner and experts in the area of proteomics and mass spectrometry.

    Objectives

    • To introduce the basic concepts and current developments in MALDI imaging, alongside applications in various areas
    • To familiarize with the principles and methodologies involved in MALDI imaging through a series of lectures and hands-on demonstrations
    • To provide a platform for scientific exchange, networking and future collaboration in MALDI imaging research

  • REGISTRATION FEES

    The fee will cover the cost of training materials and meals during the workshop.
