GoalWe aim to allow student researchers to connect with one another as well as faculty in the greater Chicagoland area. The goal of this workshop is to highlight work by early career scientists and learn about the capabilities of existing mass spectrometry instrumentation at the campuses in Chicagoland. We also seek to facilitate new collaborations and connections. This half day event is sponsored in part by the American Society for Mass Spectrometry and the Chicago Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group.
