The Columbia University Mass Spectrometry and MS Imaging Core Facility and Office of Research Initiatives and Development in collaboration with Waters Corporation are pleased to announce the 2026 Mass Spectrometry Symposium at Columbia University. The 2026 Mass Spectrometry Symposium will highlight the latest research and advancements in mass spectrometry from Columbia and Waters and bring together the greater mass spectrometry community in New York City. 

 

This free event will include talks from Columbia faculty and Waters’ scientific experts exploring the latest advances in metabolomics, mass spectrometry imaging workflows, and the characterization of new and emerging modalities. We are excited to announce Noah Miller-Medzon from Lexeo Therapeutics as the keynote speaker kicking off the symposium. At the conclusion of the symposium there will be a networking reception as well as a poster session to highlight the research conducted at Columbia University and other prominent institutions in the area.
