2020 EMSL User Meeting
October 5 - 8, 2020
Overview
The 2020 EMSL User Meeting—Visualizing the Proteome, was held virtually from October 5-8.
This 3-day meeting encompassed the following topics:
-
Pushing the frontier of structural biology
-
Understanding subcellular compartmentalization and ultrastructure
-
Annotating protein function and modifications via native and top-down proteomics
-
Revealing cellular complexity and dynamics with single to few-cell proteomics
-
Advancing cellular models and protein design with high-performance computing
Attendees included international researchers from academia, industry, and government research laboratories. The EMSL User Meeting is open to EMSL users and non-users alike.
