As part of the new CMCA Bayliss Mass Spectrometry facility, Tony will talk about the technique of mass spectrometry and developments and applications in areas of chemistry, physics, proteomics and metabolomics.

Mass Spectrometry has a history with the results of J.J. Thomson in 1913 on the isotopes of neon.  For the next 40 years it remained an instrument for physicists.  Chemists became interested in mass spectrometry from the 1940's but it became eclipsed by advancements with other instruments.  The discovery of techniques to interface a HPLC to a mass spectrometer has led to a massive resurgence in research and has led to new fields of research such as Proteomics and Metabolomics.
