Mass Spectrometry & Advances in the Clinical Lab

MSACL is coming north of the border. Monterey CA has had the pleasure of hosting this global conference on all things Mass Spectrometry as applied to the Clinical Laboratory and Clinical Research for the past few years; and now, the torch is passed to Montreal - one of the oldest cities in North America - founded in 1642. Come for the great science and experience the culture and beauty of the City. Bienvenue à Montréal!

Register now to join an MSACL Connect session with Philipp Lange moderated by Mari DeMarco: https://lnkd.in/g_aQ-YQt Molecularly targeted precision treatments have significant potential to improve therapy options for hard-to-treat cancers and reduce late effects in general. Genome sequencing has laid the foundation for precision medicine, yet, clinical success remains moderate. Identifying therapeutic targets at the protein and pathway level by mass spectrometry-based proteomics holds great promise. Co-organized with the CNPN Canadian National Proteomics Network . #MassSpectrometry #ClinicalChemistry #Cancer #PrecisionMedicine

We look forward to hosting Antonin Lamaziere on MSACL Connect. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gw38C4zG#348 Dr. Lamazière is a professor and hospital practitioner at Sorbonne University's Faculty of Medicine. He heads the Hospital Department of Clinical Metabolomics at Hôpital Saint Antoine (AP-HP.Sorbonne Université). His research interests lie at the interface between metabolism, nutrition and endocrine and metabolic pathologies. Through his work, he proposes translational approaches based on more fundamental pathophysiological issues, leading to the development of new diagnostic tools for use in healthcare. Recently, he and his team have highlighted the benefits of combining targeted metabolomic approaches with mathematical modeling based on machine learning and AI. The aims are both to map and better understand certain major biochemical pathways, and to envisage new endocrine semiologies to improve patient management and therapeutic follow-up. With the performance of new devices, mass spectrometry now offers real opportunities in terms of diagnosis and therapeutic follow-up, particularly in the neuro-endocrine field. Through examples of routine clinical developments carried out in our clinical department, this presentation will show how gains in sensitivity and robustness enable us to access new endocrine semiologies with simultaneous assays of endogenous/exogenous steroid profiles in serum or on DBS, assays of somatotropic axis peptides or the use of mathematical models to develop digital medical devices.  This webinar will cover the following: • Circulating steroid profiling improves management of PCOS syndrome • Clinical applications of metabolomics DBS signatures • High sensitivity 7500Qtrap enhances performances of proteomic biomarkers quantitation #MassSpectrometry #LabMedicine #Metabolomics Sponsored by SCIEX

More MSACL adventures on the horizon! For the next 3 years our annual conference will be held in beautiful Montreal, Canada at Hotel Bonaventure. Note our move to late September and mark your calendar to ensure you do not miss out: MSACL 2025 Montreal | September 21 - 26, 2025 MSACL 2026 Montreal | October 4 - 9, 2026 MSACL 2027 Montreal | September 26 - October 01, 2027 The Bonaventure is an extraordinary venue located 1 mile (2 metro stops) to the center of Old Montreal, and a 1.2 mile walk to the Grand Staircase of Mount Royal. The hotel's lobby and restaurants open onto terraces overlooking gardens with streams and waterfalls inhabited by ducks and koi fish, all surrounded by abundant greenery including, oak and birch trees and includes a heated swimming pool. This is all located on the top two floors of a 17 story building in the middle of the city adjacent to the central train station.
