"The Joys and Sorrows of Quantitation in Mass Spectrometry, Particularly in Relation to DMPK : Perspectives from a Power User, Contract Laboratory, and Instrument Manufacturer "

Bill Fitch, Principal Research Scientist, Roche Pharmaceutical Research
Bob Cunico, President, Bay Bioanalytical Laboratory, Inc.
Rohan Thakur, Marketing Director, Small Molecule Solutions, ThermoFisher Scientific


Details

Three Bay Area leaders in mass spectrometry have been invited to present their viewpoints on the rapidly expanding field of mass spectrometry and DMPK.

Special attention will be paid to the challenges, opportunities, and rewards that confront and confound users that require quantitation.

Each speaker will address the issues of mass spectrometry, DMPK, and quantitation from their unique perspective:

  • How does a power user address the requirements of the pharmaceutical company? Click here for details
  • How does a contract laboratory deliver outstanding results?
  • How does an instrument vendor provide the tools to meet these challenges?

Attendees will be encouraged to ask specific questions to the panel as they enjoy a buffet lunch, provided by those happy people at Camille's Cafe, San Jose.

Call for Posters

Our hosts at San Jose BioCenter have generously agreed to provide space for attendees to put up posters as part of the seminar.

Now is an excellent opportunity to re-submit those posters that took months of research, weeks of preparation, all for a mere half day presentation at ASMS! Space is limited, so contact Tim Hawkins to get on the list!

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 6:00 pm for cocktails, dinner at 7:00 pm, and lecture at 8:15 pm.

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

To become a member, please fill out and mail in a membership form.
BAMS has been fortunate to have had many excellent speakers in our history.
