Abstract
(coming soon)

Background
Ruth Van Bogelin graduated from the University of Michigan in 1978, and held a number of research positions there until she joined the staff at Parke Davis in 1992 where she is currently a research associate.  Her efforts over the last two years have been focused on expanding proteomics at Parke-Davis from a one person operation integrated in antibacterial drug discovery to a multi-team proteomics group focused on several preclinical drug discovery programs.  Over the last 12 months, her teams have had a significant impact on ten drug discovery projects.  Their efforts to keep proteomics focused on drug discovery rather than on improving the technologies has enabled them to generate data demonstrating how powerful proteomics can be to the study of biology.

The San Francisco Bay Area Mass Spectrometry discussion group was formed in 1980 to provide a regular gathering for people interested in mass spectrometry and allied topics. BAMS currently has a membership of about 280 individual and 20 corporate members, and meets 8-10 times per year for a midweek dinner and lecture.  Meetings attract between 30 and 90 people, and are held at a restaurant or hotel in the bay area convenient for our speaker.  We usually convene at 6:00pm for cocktails, dinner at 7:00pm, and lecture at 8:15pm.
 

If you have suggestions for a meeting topic, or know of a prominent mass spectroscopist who will be visiting the bay area, please contact our program chair.
