Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI), is an emergent technique able to detect and spatially localize proteins, peptides and/or metabolites in animal or vegetal tissues, with excellent lateral resolution and minimal sample preparation. MSI is a truly biomolecular histology technique, that combined with traditional histological techniques, will represent a step forward in many applications such as drug discovery, histopathology, toxicology or food safety, among others. This seminar will focus on the potentiality of the technique, as well as on practical aspects related with sample preparation, mass spectrometry instrumentation, data processing and bioinformatics resources.
