The Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics (MSP) facility will host the 22nd Annual Ohio Mass Spectrometry Symposium (OMSS). The symposium will be held at The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, on October 23-24, 2025

The purpose of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for academic and industrial researchers in the region to present their findings, share information, discuss research challenges with colleagues, and spark new collaborations in the field of mass spectrometry and its rapidly advancing applications and technologies. Key topics will include Metabolomics, Proteomics, MS Imaging Techniques, Advanced Ionization Techniques, Instrumentation, and Native MS. The annual symposium is hosted by OSU’s Campus Chemical Instrumentation Center (CCIC) and the Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry. This event is made possible by our sponsors: Bruker, Agilent, Waters, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Shimadzu, SciEx, Evosep, Peak Scientific, and Sciway.
