The annual
Tecan Symposium will be held in the US for the first time this year, from the
23
rd to the 25
th of October, at the beautiful Taj Hotel
in the historical and picturesque surroundings of Boston, Massachusetts.
The topic of this year's symposium is ‘
Mass spectrometry - the expanding
role in life sciences and diagnostics' and, as in previous years, the main
scientific program will be complemented by a series of social events to
encourage networking between key opinion leaders in mass spectrometry (MS).
MS is
being increasingly used throughout the life sciences sector, from fundamental
research to medical diagnostics, and the 2012 Tecan Symposium will cover
various aspects of MS across four main themes: the use of MS in diagnostics and
applied markets; the role of MS in basic research; the collection, preparation
and storage of samples for MS; and emerging trends and technologies in MS. The
varied program will include prominent speakers from academia and industry -
including The Hershey Company and Quest Diagnostics - and will provide
practical insights into current applications of MS, as well as discussion of
potential future uses. Each session will be followed by opportunities for open
discussion and networking, providing unparalleled opportunities to further
advance this current hot topic while enjoying Tecan's hospitality.
