Abstract

Following the highly successful CASMS conferences in the previous two years, the 3rd CASMS Conference was held virtually on August 28-31, 2023, using the Gather.Town platform to bring together scientists in the mass spectrometry field. The conference offered a 4-day agenda with a scientific program consisting of two plenary lectures, and 14 parallel symposia in which a total of 70 speakers presented technological innovations and their applications in proteomics & biological mass spectrometry, and metabo-lipidomics & pharmaceutical mass spectrometry. In addition, 16 invited speakers/panelists presented at 2 research focused and 3 career development workshops. Moreover, 86 posters, 12 lightning talks, 3 sponsored workshops, and 11 exhibitions were presented, from which 9 poster awards and 2 lightning talk awards were selected. Furthermore, the conference featured 4 young investigator awardees to highlight early-career achievements in mass spectrometry from our society. The conference provided a unique scientific platform for young scientists (i.e., graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty/investigators) to present their research, meet with prominent scientists, learn about career development, and job opportunities (http://casms.org).
