Towards Single Cell Imaging Session 1
Join us as we introduce our path to visualize molecules from tissue at single cell resolution using DESI MS imaging, with the commercial DESI XS ionization source coupled to Xevo G3 QToF Mass Spectrometer.
This webinar will explain how to easily transition to high resolution MS Imaging with a traditional entry level commercial DESI MS imaging toolkit.
Learn how to:
- Understand High spatial resolution MS Imaging is now accessible to all labs and applications
- Access single cell DESI Imaging with the combination of DESI XS and Xevo G3 QToF
- Leverage both high sensitivity and high speed of acquisition with the Xevo G3 QToF without compromising MS Imaging data quality
- Utilize HDI 1.8 Imaging software for microscope mode analysis for effective use of time in MS Imaging experiments
- Obtain comprehensive and detailed spatial information with limited sample preparationAdd MSI analysis into a multi-modal imaging workflow with ease
Presenter: Dr Jamie Reilly (Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Galway)
Dr. Jamie Reilly is a postdoctoral researcher in NUIG Galway. Prior to joining the CELLIMAGE project, Jamie undertook his PhD in Regenerative Medicine in REMEDI, where he used bioinformatics to analyze molecular pathways in cellular and animal models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Jamie attended Trinity College Dublin (TCD) for his undergraduate degree in Genetics, and has a Masters in Biotechnology from Queens University Belfast.
Presenter: Dr. Mark Towers (Principal Scientist - MS Technology, Waters)
Mark Towers gained his PhD from the University of Reading in Bioanalytical chemistry on the Development of applications and techniques for UV-Liquid-MALDI-MS. Mark joined Waters over 10 years ago into the Scientific operations team as a senior scientist, working on high resolution mass spectrometry and imaging.
Mark’s primary area of focus has been surface analysis by desorption electrospray ionisation (DESI) with over 7 years experience and matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation for over 14 years, principally but not limited to tissue sections for the detection and distribution mapping of a wide range of molecules.
Presenter: Dr. Joanne Ballantyne (Director, MS Imaging program, Waters Corporation)
Joanne completed a PhD in Mass Spectrometry at UMIST in Manchester 2002, in collaboration with UK Ministry of Defence's Science and Technology Lab (Dstl). This was followed by a post-doc at NIH in Bethesda, USA, working in OMICS for the NIMH. After returning to the UK, and time as a MALDI applications chemist at Shimadzu Biotech, Joanne joined Waters Corporation in 2007 as a member of the OMICS Application team in Manchester and progressed to managing the team. Following this Joanne spent a number of years in Business Development and Field Marketing for discovery applications in the Northern European region. At the end of 2018 Joanne joined the Product Management group with responsibility for the SYNAPT and MS Imaging technologies. After gaining ILM7 accreditation in strategic leadership, Joanne is now Director of the MS Imaging program.
