Topic

In medical sciences, emphasis is increasingly placed on instrumental techniques and accurate, quantitative measurements. This course is give an overall review about the modern mass spectrometry and it shows the medical applications of the MS in the clinical and diagnostic practice.

Topics:

Introduction to MS. Ionsources, analizators, detectors. Separation techniques. Sample handling. Biomedical sampling. Bioinformatics. Proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics. Biomarker discovery. Mass spectrometric imaging techniques.
