Past Events

Seminars and Workshops

The VMOL and MassSpec seminar series of the Functional Metabolomics Lab provide a general introduction to modern mass spectrometry and in particular to the analysis of biomolecules. The basic hardware principles of how a mass spectrometer works and application-oriented data analysis approaches are covered.

The goal is to start from scratch and enable all participants to independently perform various mass spectrometry data analysis tasks within a few sessions. The seminars serve as a dynamic platform for communication and exchange of ideas and concepts in mass spectrometry. All software presented is open source.

All previous events in the series can be found here:
