MSACL 2016 US 8th\u00a0Annual Conference & Exhibits<\/p>\n

Palm Springs Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center<\/a><\/p>\n

Palm Springs, CA<\/p>\n

February 21 \u2013 25, 2016<\/p>\n

Program Description<\/h3>\n

The MSACL Conference provides a forum for discussion of developments in the clinical application of mass spectrometry. While immunoassay methods have dominated clinical analyses, mass spectrometric methods are now providing analytical results more rapidly and with less-expense. MSACL brings together experts in the field with those driven to explore and understand clinical mass spectrometry, with the goal of facilitating mass spectrometry\u2019s adoption as a health care tool and accelerating the realization of improved patient care and reduced health care costs. MSACL\u2019s mission is educational and the organization provides several levels of\u00a0Educational Travel Grants<\/b><\/a>\u00a0to support conference attendance:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Young Investigator Grants<\/b>: Young investigators, in the first four years of their academic position, who submit an abstract which is accepted for presentation (poster\/podium) at the annual conference. Applicants must submit a\u00a0short application<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Trainee Grants<\/b>: Lab Directors-to-be interested in learning more about what mass spectrometry is and how it could potentially improve results and reduce costs in their clinical laboratory are not required to submit an abstract, but must submit a\u00a0short application<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Lab Director Grants<\/b>: Current Lab Directors interested in learning more about what mass spectrometry is and how it could potentially improve results and reduce costs in their clinical laboratory are not required to submit an abstract, but must submit a\u00a0short application<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s the abstracts that make the meeting. Are you working in clinical mass spectrometry and have compelling results that you want to present at the most focused clinical mass spec meeting in the world? Submit your abstract for the MSACL Conference. MSACL focuses on topics including pain management, microbiology, chemistry\/toxicology, proteomics, metabolomics, tissue imaging, and regulations and standards. A comprehensive list is below.\u00a0Let us know<\/a>\u00a0if there is another topic area that you think should be added.\u00a0Expected Topics for MSACL 2016 US<\/b><\/p>\n

    *Note: Abstracts are solicited for the topics listed below, however, if no abstracts are submitted and accepted on any given topic then it will not be covered at the conference.<\/p>\n

      Target Audience<\/h3>\n

      The target audience for this program includes pathologists, clinical laboratory directors and scientists, mass spectrometry and automated sample processing providers as well as laboratory diagnostic providers. This program will be beneficial to healthcare administrators, laboratory quality control and standards scientists, as well as those responsible for implementation of clinical analyses for emergency response due to terrorism or accident.<\/p>\n

      Needs Assessment<\/h3>\n

      This meeting will be critical to share emerging analytical information and work concerning regulations and standards. The goal of MSACL is to create an environment through which participants will be able to identify opportunities to develop the capacity to provide higher quality results, more rapidly and for lower overall cost, for patients within the healthcare system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
