Tech Spotlight: Mass Spectrometry 2026

Mass spectrometry has become a cornerstone technology across the 'omics' sciences, enabling researchers to characterise complex biological systems with unprecedented depth and confidence. As advances in instrumentation, separation science, ion mobility, tandem mass spectrometry, and computational data analysis continue to evolve, laboratories can achieve broader molecular coverage and more meaningful biological insights. In this webinar, Dr James McCullagh will present "From Molecules to Molecular Systems: Innovations in Mass Spectrometry Shaping 'Omics' Science," exploring the latest developments in mass spectrometry workflows and how these technologies are advancing applications across proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, spatial omics, and related fields. Attendees will gain practical insight into how complementary mass spectrometry approaches are improving analytical performance, supporting systems-level biological understanding, and driving progress in biomarker discovery, disease research, and precision health. Key Learning Objectives: • Explain why mass spectrometry is a foundational technology across multiple 'omics' disciplines. • Describe recent advances in mass spectrometry instrumentation, separation science, ion mobility, tandem mass spectrometry, and computational data analysis. • Understand how integrated mass spectrometry workflows are enabling systems-level insights into biological function. • Recognise the impact of mass spectrometry innovations on disease research, biomarker discovery, and precision health.
