The 69th American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics was held last week and our very own 4th-year graduate student, Marina, was in attendance. Held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this conference brings together scientists to share their original work on the advancement of mass spectrometry techniques, instrumentation, and fundamental work in chemistry, biology, geology, forensics, and physics. Marina presented a poster on her recent work, “Characterization of Multi-Lipid Nanodisc Composition by LC-MS/MS”, which is in collaboration with former Bailey Lab undergraduate researcher and current UM graduate student, Josh Jones. Marina had fruitful conversations with both professors and graduate students, attended many research talks, and even enjoyed exploring the rival city of her alma mater (University of Pittsburgh). Pictured below are Marina and Josh next to the original electrospray ionization instrument from the Fenn lab at the Science History Institute!
