8-day block module (5 ECTS) - limited places
NAT0111: Hands-on MSc elective in Mass Spectrometry Imaging
12.05.2026, Biete ...
This intensive course introduces the theoretical and practical foundations of mass spectrometry imaging, a technique that enables direct visualization of molecular locations in biological samples. You will explore how chemistry is spatially organized in tissues and how this links to biological function.
A compact, hands-on introduction to modern
mass spectrometry imaging (MSI)
with applications in
spatial metabolomics and
spatial proteomics.
This course provides a structured introduction to the
fundamentals of mass spectrometry imaging
and quickly progresses into real-world applications.
Each day combines focused morning lectures with extensive practical sessions in the afternoon.
This module is intended for
Master students
in chemistry, biochemistry, and related disciplines.
A basic understanding of mass spectrometry is helpful, but the main requirement is an interest in:
Mass spectrometry imaging is a rapidly developing field with increasing relevance in
biology and medicine.
This course offers:
Second half of September 2026
The teaching component is completed within
8 days
during the lecture-free period.
Due to the hands-on nature of the course,
participation is limited to 10 students.
