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:
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!

As a service to our members, we post Employment postings.
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.
If you have suggestions for a meeting topic please contact our program chair.
