Proteomics 2008, a day of information and inspiration at Children's Hospital Boston

On March 28 of this year Children's Hospital Boston hosted the third annual proteomics symposium: Proteomics 2008. This full day symposium featured talks by Richard Caprioli, Steven Gygi, AlanMarshall, Hanno Steen, Sasha Singh, Marc Kirchner and John Yates. Richard Caprioli from Vanderbilt University intrigued the 200C attendees with a fascinating demonstration of tissue MALDI with his talk titled ''Molecular Imaging and Profiling of Tissue Sections Using Mass Spectrometry: Applications in Biological and Clinical Research''.

The presented analysis revealed a detailed molecular map of brain tissue complete with compositional and spatial arrangement of protein and lipids in the tissue sections. more >>  |  (124kb)
