The 2026 International School on Mass Spectrometry will be held at the Ettore Maiorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice (Italy) on September 9-14, 2026.

The International School on Mass Spectrometry (IntSMS) is a six day full immersion school aimed to give advanced and higher education in mass spectrometry to graduate, PhD, post-doc students, and all those working in different areas of science, ranging from physics, chemistry, biosciences, food, environment, to omics sciences, medicine, interested to improve their knowledge and education in mass spectrometry.

The 3rd course will focus on MASS SPECTROMETRY AND TANDEM MS OF MACROMOLECULES - Fundamentals, Advances, and Applications.

Third course directors:

Prof. Joseph A. Loo
UCLA Molecular Biology Institute
e-mail: jloo@chem.ucla.edu

Dr. Ljiljana Pasa-Tolic
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
e-mail: Ljiljana.PasaTolic@pnnl.gov

The lessons cover many key aspects of the theory and applications of MS and Tandem MS to macromolecules and are taught by experienced scientists, many of whom have contributed key innovations to the field.

Participants will come from a wide range of scientific sectors, including academia laboratories, public and private research centers, as well as a range of industries (e.g., chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, food sciences, and other). It will be an occasion with interactions amongst many students and tutors from different countries and create opportunities for scientific and social exchange and professional networking.
