BMSS Single Cell MS SIG Meeting 2025

Pushing the boundaries of single cell mass spectrometry - Join us at the second BMSS single cell 1-Day meeting on the 5th of November 2025 in Nottingham!

Following the great success of our inaugural BMSS Single Cell Mass Spectrometry SIG Meeting last year, we are excited to bring you the second annual meeting, taking place on 5th November 2025 in Nottingham, UK!

Single cell mass spectrometry is pushing the boundaries of molecular analysis, offering unprecedented insight into cellular diversity at the molecular level. By enabling highly sensitive, spatially resolved profiling of individual cells, this field is reshaping research in cancer biology, drug discovery, and precision medicine. Emerging technologies—including mass spectrometry imaging, microfluidic platforms, and advanced single-cell sampling techniques—are driving innovation, yet overcoming challenges in detection limits, reproducibility, and methodological standardisation remains crucial for unlocking its full potential.

THE MEETING:

This meeting will bring together leading experts, emerging researchers, and industry pioneers to showcase the latest breakthroughs, discuss key challenges, and foster new collaborations.

We are delighted to welcome two leading experts in single cell mass spectrometry as our 2025 plenary speakers:

Prof Ian Gilmore (National Physical Laboratory, UK) – A world-renowned expert who pioneered OrbiSIMS technology, revolutionising high-resolution molecular imaging for biomedical and material sciences.

Dr Carla Newman (GlaxoSmithKline, UK) - A leading expert in applying single cell mass spectrometry in pharmaceutical research and drug discovery.

CALL FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS AND POSTERS:

We invite researchers at all career stages to submit abstracts for oral presentations, flash talks, and posters. This is your chance to present your work to a highly engaged audience!

  • Submission Deadline: 22nd September 2025
  • Notification of Acceptance: Week commencing 29th September 2025
  • Abstract Requirements: Maximum 150 words, including title, authors, and affiliations. Please indicate whether you prefer an oral, flash, or poster presentation (or both flash and poster presentation)
