Seminars for the The Mass Spectrometry Interest Group of the NCI at Frederick will generally be scheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of each month for 2009. A seminar is usually a 45-50 minute presentation on a topic of general interest followed by open discussion.
MeetingsSeparate from the seminars, there will also be smaller meetings which will consist of a 20-30 minute presentation on a topic of specific interest followed by open discussion. Meetings will not have a regular schedule.
Seminar
Speaker: Kelsey Cook, National Science Foundation, Arlington, Va 22230
Topic: "Mass Spectrometry of Complex Systems - Doing It and Funding It"
Place: Building 549, Conference Room A, NCI at Frederick, Frederick, MD - Need Directions?
Time: Tuesday, November 24, 2009, at 2:00 PM
Abstract: Synthetic polymers were targeted by John Fenn (Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 2002) at the "dawn" of electrospray mass spectrometry, then quite rationally set aside in favor of more tractable analytes. The challenge of their analysis remains enticing, given (inter alia) the use of materials like poly(ethylene glycol) to affect the biological assimilation of drugs. The topic will be revisited both to illustrate the virtue of revisiting old problems with new insites, and the "mysteries" of the funding system.
