Winter Conference on Mass Spectrometry

The Winter Conference on Mass Spectrometry, held at La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe, United States, serves as a pivotal gathering for experts across various subfields of mass spectrometry. This event highlights recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based technologies and methods, which have significantly improved throughput, quantitation, structural elucidation, and limits of detection.

Innovations in areas such as ion mobility and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) are facilitating deeper explorations into the cellular lipidome. Attendees can expect discussions covering a broad spectrum of methodologies, including direct infusion, chromatography coupling, and imaging mass spectrometry.

The conference is designed to foster interaction among investigators from diverse research areas, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas within the field. Significant attention will be dedicated to showcasing innovations in technology and methods, while also discussing exciting applications of lipid and lipidomics research.

Participants will benefit from engaging with a wide range of topics that span instrumentation, informatics, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and environmental mass spectrometry. Additionally, the conference features a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Mass Spectrometry in Microbial Sciences, aligning with the themes of the 2026 ASMS Winter Conference.
