TEAMS Biomarkers in Industry, Health and Disease Symposium

The Edinburgh Association of Mass Spectrometrists (TEAMS) invite you to their annual symposium at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer.

The programme focuses on “Biomarkers in Industry, Health and Disease” and features high-profile speakers from across Edinburgh, the CRUK Scotland Institute in Glasgow and the Centre for Targeted Protein Degradation in Dundee.

Furthermore, there are two speakers from Olink and Bruker, two companies that, in collaboration with large biomedical resources such as the UK Biobank, are enabling ground-breaking Biomarker discovery.

This represents an ideal opportunity for groups interested in biomarkers to interact with researchers, facilities and industry that enable this research.

More information is on the TEAMS website,
