3rd International BMS Symposium 2023 in Kyoto

Date:
October 6 and 7, 2023
Organizer:
The Division of Biological Mass Spectrometry (BMS), The Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan.
Venue:
Main Hall, Shimadzu Corporation Headquarters
1, Kuwabaracho, Nishinokyo, Nakagyoku, Kyoto 604-8511, Japan
The nearest station: Nishioji-Oike, Subway Tozai Line
Purpose:
The BMS division plans to hold an international academic symposium to open up the future of life science with mass spectrometry (MS), inviting prominent researchers from abroad and young MS researchers who will lead the next generation in Japan. The symposium will focus on academic topics in advanced MS researches to elucidate biological and life phenomena, with English as the main language.
