Meeting Details
We are delighted to announce that registration and abstract submission are now open for the inaugural N8 Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group meeting!
Friday 27 November 2026 | 12:30–17:00 program to start at 13:30.
Posters from 12:30
Lunch and tea and coffee will be served.
The N8 Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group is a new forum bringing together researchers who develop, use and are interested in mass spectrometry across the North of England and beyond.
Our aim is to build a lively, inclusive community where we can share research, exchange ideas, develop collaborations and, importantly, provide opportunities for early career researchers (ECRs) to present and discuss their work.
We plan to hold three meetings each year, rotating between sites in the eight N8 universities: Durham, Lancaster, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York.
Our inaugural meeting will feature:
- Keynote lecture: Professor Matthias Trost (University of Manchester) – Proteomics Comes of Age: Sensitivity and Throughput Reshape Biology
- Short research presentations from ECRs, selected from submitted abstracts
- Poster presentations and opportunities for informal scientific discussion
- An industry exhibition featuring mass spectrometry technology and applications
- Opportunities to meet colleagues, make connections and explore new collaborations
We welcome abstracts from across the full breadth of mass spectrometry, from fundamental instrumentation and method development to applications in chemistry, biology, medicine, environmental science and beyond.
Register and submit an abstract here:
Microsoft Forms registration and abstract submission link [forms.cloud.microsoft]
We particularly encourage PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and other ECRs to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations.
Although initiated by the N8 universities, this is very much an open meeting. Researchers from all universities, research institutes and industry are warmly invited to participate, wherever they are based.
Please circulate this invitation widely among your colleagues and research groups.
We look forward to welcoming you to Manchester for the first of what we hope will become a thriving regular meeting series!
