Welcome
Both these meetings welcomed academic and industrial scientists from around the world representing disciplines as diverse as analytical, preparative, and native mass spectrometry, molecular electron microscopy, tomography and scanning probe microscopy. The conference acronym, MS+M, stands for Mass Spectrometry plus Microscopy, expressing the vision that this sum is greater than its parts.
We are happy to announce that the third meeting will be held in October 2025 in Utrecht, and hosted by Albert Heck (Utrecht), Kyle Fort (ThermoFisher), Kelvin Anggara (MPI Stuttgart) and Joost Snijder (Utrecht). We aim to further strengthen collaboration and science in this emerging, exciting community and invite you all to contribute. Please express your interest in the meeting ASAP, as the attendance is limited to ~160 participants.
Save the date: October 1st to 3rd 2025.
Organizing Committee
Albert Heck is a distinguished Professor at Utrecht University, specializing in mass spectrometry and proteomics. He leads the Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics group and serves as scientific director of the Netherlands Proteomics Center. His innovative research has earned him numerous accolades, including the Spinoza Prize in 2017.
Kyle L. Fort is a Research and Development Scientist at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Bremen, Germany, specializing in mass spectrometry and instrument development. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Texas A&M University in 2014. In 2023, he was appointed Affiliated Assistant Professor at Utrecht University.
Kelvin Anggara is a Senior Scientist and ERC Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany, specializing in single-molecule chemistry. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Toronto in 2018. His research focuses on developing methods to visualize glycans at the single-molecule level.
Joost Snijder is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, specializing in structural proteomics to study virus-host interactions. His research combines mass spectrometry and cryo-electron microscopy to understand antibody neutralization of viral infections. In 2018, he received the Heineken Young Scientist Award in Medical/Biomedical Sciences.
