Analytical mass spectrometry workflow for VAMS and its applications in cardiology and beyond
Wednesday May 13th, 2026 - 11am ET, 4pm GMT, 5pm CET
Precision, high throughput, robust mass spectrometry workflow is required for maximizing protein coverage of VAMs devices that we have deployed in cardiology and other diseases.
Underlying precision medicine is the concept that an individual’s omic signature, including the proteome, will provide a physician with clinically actionable diagnosis and a subsequent mechanistic therapeutic route that is appropriate for a particular person. The application of remote sampling devices can increase the access of individuals to participate in clinical studies to help define, for example, natural history of diseases and response to therapies. We have built a highly automated robust mass spectrometry workflow for maximizing protein coverage of VAMs devices. We have deployed VAMs to meet challenges in cardiology and other diseases.
Of interest to Clinicians, medical researchers, mass spectrometry investigators, and manufacturers and companies associated with remote sampling.
