OUR UPCOMING SEMINAR

September 14

3:00-6:00pm

A special joint event with the Massachusetts Separation Society

MASSEP
This will be an exciting networking event for mass-spec lovers and metabolomics aficionados (same thing really...), with networking sessions and two great speakers from the Boston community. 

The talks:

Featured Industry Seminar
Dr. Thomas Roddy
Senior Vice President of Platform, Atavistik Bio
From Metabolomics to Medicines: How Metabolite Screening Unlocks Allosteric Drug Discovery
 
Emerging Scholars Series

Will Doxsey
Graduate Student, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Insulin acts as an anti-catabolic, not an anabolic hormone for circulating nutrients
 
This event will bring together researchers, trainees, industry scientists, and members of the broader scientific community for an afternoon of cutting-edge science, networking, and discussion focused on the future of metabolomics, drug discovery, and translational research.
 

This program highlights both scientific innovation in industry and the next generation of emerging scientific talent.
Registration here
 

Cambridge Innovation Center

1 Broadway, Cambridge, MA

Sponsored by Shimadzu

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN TIME - this is an afternoon event so you do need to pack your own lunch that day :)
