MANA 3rd Annual Summer Symposium
"Novel analytical strategies for scoring confidence in compound annotation" on September 10, 2021 at 9 am PST
We are excited to hear from the following speakers:
  • Dr. Erin Baker, NC State University, USA
  • Dr. Emma Schymanski, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg
  • Dr. Kai Dührkop, Universitӓt Jena, Germany 
  • Dr. Joanna Godzien, Medical University of Bialystok, Poland 
  • Dr. Corey Broeckling, Colorado State University, USA
  • Dr. Xiaoyu Yang, NIST, USA
  • Dr. Thomas Metz, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA 
This symposium will discuss how LC-MS/MS annotations can achieve increased confidence by using complementary information such as ion mobility (CCS), cheminformatics, and library curation. We will hear from leading experts on how they evaluate and improve compound annotation confidence.

Bits & Bites: 6-Part Short Course Series
#3 June 3, 2021: Using MS-DIAL to generate accurate comprehensive LC-MS/MS metabolomics datasets with Jake Folz, UC Davis

In this Bite, you'll be diving in deeper on the following:
  • Data curation of LC-MS/MS data processed using MS-DIAL version 4.60.
  • We will also cover how to tackle compound ID, data quality analysis, and unknown feature reduction in MS-DIAL.
  • The example dataset was collected from rat blood plasma using LC-MS/MS with MS/MS data collected in DDA, but methods and techniques from this course apply to many different sample types!
MS-DIAL: A universal program to process untargeted metabolomics data. MS-DIAL supports multiple instruments, platforms, and MS Vendors such as Agilent, Bruker, LECO, Sciex, Shimadzu, Thermo, & Waters.
