Join us for virtual OMSMS 2020!

The 4th Annual Ohio Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Symposium will be held virtually from 1-5 p.m. EST on October 7 and 8, 2020. Registration is free, but required.

About OMSMS

The purpose of the annual two-day joint meeting of the 17th Annual Ohio Mass Spectrometry Symposium and 4th Annual Conference on Food and Nutritional Metabolomics is to provide an opportunity for academic and industrial researchers in the region to present their findings, share information, discuss research challenges with colleagues, and spark new collaborations in the rapidly advancing fields of mass spectrometry and metabolomics. This year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, OMSMS 2020 will be held as a virtual symposium.

The symposium is planned and co-hosted by the OSU Campus Chemical Instrument Center, Resource for Native MS-Guided Structural Biology, and OSU Foods for Health, with support from our generous sponsors.
