The First National Conference on Mass Spectrometry of Chinese Chemical Societywas held on April25-27, 2014 in Beijing. This conference was organized by Mass Spectrometry Division of Chinese Chemical Society, and Department of Chemistry /Analysis Center of Tsinghua University. The symposium was initiated by Prof. Jin-Ming Lin from Tsinghua University and chaired by Prof. Hongyuan Chen from Nanjing University. Prof. Qiankun Zhuang from National Nature Science Foundation of China (NSFC) gave the opening speech before the plenary lectures. More than 400 conventioneers including scientists, experts and students of mass spectrometry from 79 academic institutions and instrument manufacturers attended the conference.
Prof. Jin-Ming Lin of Tsinghua University chaired the Open Ceremony
During this symposium, 15 plenary lecturers, 30 invited speakers and 30 contributed speakers presented their latest academic achievements in mass spectrometry related to environmental and food safety, pharmaceutical analysis, -omics, bio-analysis, and instrumentation developments. Eight excellent posters were selected for awards by a prize-jury group. The meeting has provided a great opportunity for academic communications in the hope of promoting the development of mass spectrometry in China.
