ASMS continued... Uri presented on the "New untargeted LC/MS/MS Assay and mass spectral / retention time libraries for natural products in food."
Oliver continued his workshop from yesterday at the poster session, highlighting Mass.Wiki. #metabolomics, #lipidomics, and #exposome research."

At #ASMS, Dr Tong Shen gave two excellent talks. At the ThermoFisher seminar, she explained how extended dynamic range enables #exposome measurements in Alzheimer Disease human blood samples. In the Imaging section, she provided #lipidomic changes in an #Alzheimer’s rat model. Great lively debate!
