October 2-5, 2023
Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, Madison WI

Combining precise chemical information from mass spectrometry (MS) with high-resolution imaging methods like electron microscopy (cryoEM, TEM) or scanning probe microscopy (AFM, STM) pushes the frontiers and scope of chemical and structural analysis to atomic resolution of individual complex molecules.  

This workshop meeting brings together an emerging community of scientists from analytical, preparative, and native mass spectrometry, molecular electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy to explore the possibilities and challenges of the novel approaches at the frontier of native mass spectrometry and single-molecule imaging.

The conference handle, MS+M_23, stands for Mass Spectrometry plus Microscopy, expressing the vision that this sum is greater than its parts.
