Welcome to Mass Spec 2023
The focus of this Symposium is the practical application of mass spectrometry (MS) in the biotechnology industry. Mass spectrometry is a critical analytical technology used in the discovery, development, and commercialization of biopharmaceuticals. This Symposium provides an interactive forum to share experiences, insights, and novel developments between industry, academia, and regulatory agencies worldwide. The goals of the Symposium are to communicate best practices and innovative approaches for mass spectrometry applications in biopharma, as well as promote colleague networking and open discussions, thereby allowing attendees to advance their own projects more efficiently and confidently.
