- ■Title
- Frontier in biopolymer analysis by mass spectrometry
- ■Organizer
- Yasushi Ishihama (Kyoto Univ.) / Nana Kawasaki (Yokohama City Univ.)
- ■Keynote
- Nana Kawasaki (Yokohama City Univ.)
- ■Scope
- Rapid progress has been made for mass spectrometry-based biopolymer analysis, such as protein, nucleic acid and carbohydrate. In particular, large-scale omics analyses as well as targeted analyses of individual biomolecules to reveal the structure-function relationship have been explored by the state-of-the art mass spectrometric technologies. In this session, we would like to discuss how mass spectrometry contributes to the front lines of various omics sciences as well as structural biology fields. In addition, we want to also discuss the next-generation mass spectrometry for biomolecular analysis.

- ■Scope
- Gas phase ion chemistry is a broad field with many applications. Fundamental studies of gas-phase reaction provide a better understanding of mass spectrometry. This session will focus on fundamental aspects of gas phase ion chemistry, including ionization, photo-dissociation, ion-molecule reaction, dissociation, ion-neutral interaction and so on.

- Perspective on the connection between the environment and human activity by mass spectrometry.
- ■Organizer
- Atsushi Yamamoto (Osaka City Inst. Pub. Health Environ. Sci.) / Shusuke Takemine (NETI)
- ■Invited
- Takanori Nakano (RIHN)
- ■Scope
- There is a close connection between the physical cycle in nature and human activity. Although pollution problems associated with industrial modernization are improving, it is not sufficient to elucidate the connection for harmonious coexistence, for example the effect on health by chemical substances and the effect on climate change by aerosol precursors. In Japan, Basic Act on Water Cycle was implemented in 2014. The development of new evaluation approach to the physical cycle has been expected. Mass spectrometry has a high sensitivity and broad applicability and they can be a great advantage for the elucidation of the connection. In this session, we will share new knowledge of how mass spectrometry contributes to the environmental field.

- Clinical chemical diagnosis based on mass spectrometry
- ■Organizer
- Nariyasu Mano (Tohoku Univ.) / Tatsuya Higashi (Tokyo Univ. Sci.)
- ■Keynote
- Tatsuya Higashi (Tokyo Univ. Sci.)
- ■Scope
- Early recognition and early diagnosis are very important for the rapid progress and enhancement of medical care in the super-aged society, as symbolized by preventive medicine or preemptive medical care. Appropriate analytical methods are conducive to accurate diagnosis, and necessary for the selection of appropriate therapy. Currently, mass spectrometry widens its appeal in the chemical diagnosis area, and marker molecule search and imaging analysis using blood, urine, and tissue sections from patients have also been carried out. On the other hand, mass spectrometry is used in clinical practice, and contributes significantly to the rapid identification of responsible bacteria in infectious disease treatment and therapeutic drug monitoring. Under present circumstances there are many challenges to overcome for rapid and accurate observation of target molecules in patient samples on site. We want to discuss the current status and future prospects of clinical application of mass spectrometry, including mass spectrometry techniques, pre-processing techniques and derivatization methods to make high sensitive and high accurate analytical methods.

- ■Scope
- Isotopic analysis is a clue to decipher the origin and evolution of the Solar system. The scope of “Isotope session” of Mass spectrometry conference in 2016 is to cover a variety of topics in Earth and Space sciences based on the advanced isotopic analysis and to enhance mutual understanding of the past and/or on-going processes of the Earth and it’s surface environment

- Mass spectrometry in natural products and food chemistry
- ■Organizer

- ■Invited
- Yasumasa Kuwahara (Toyama Pref. Univ.)
- ■Scope
- Natural products often have unique structure and biological activity, which have been useful as a lead compound for development of drugs and agrochemicals. Foods also contain many bioactive components, whose structural analysis and quantitation is critical for evaluation of its functionality. Mass spectrometry has been played a pivotal role in both qualitative and quantitative analysis of natural products including food components, although other methods such as NMR are establishing a prominent position especially in structural analysis. However, mass spectrometric analysis is still essential for certain research areas of natural products. In this session, we will focus on the mass spectrometric analysis of natural products including food components, and discuss novel techniques and technologies to contribute to the advancement of this research field.

- Metabolomics: current technologies and applications
- ■Organizer
- Yoshihiro Izumi (Kyushu Univ.) / Yuki Sugiura (Keio Univ.)
- ■Keynote
- Fumio Matsuda (Osaka Univ.)
- ■Scope
- With the recent instrumental progress in mass spectrometry, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS), liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS), capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CE/MS), and imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) have been widely used in the field of metabolomics. The comprehensive analysis of a wide range of metabolites in biological samples using a combination of GC/MS, LC/MS, and CE/MS techniques makes it possible to identify metabolic compounds that play important roles in specific biological processes. Moreover, in vivo spatial distribution of metabolites has become possible to visualize via IMS technique. However, the conventional techniques are not sufficient to understand metabolism in its entirety (i.e., metabolites identification, absolute quantitative analysis of metabolites, metabolic dynamics, etc.), and further technical developments are required to overcome.
In this session, we want to discuss new technologies (chromatography/mass spectrometry, imaging mass spectrometry, metabolite identification methodology, etc.) and applications (metabolic flux analysis, disease biomarker discovery, multi-omics analysis, etc.) for the further advances in metabolomics.

- ■Scope
- The focus of this symposium is the application of mass spectrometry (MS) for functional materials such as (co)polymer, surfactant, and organic/inorganic nanomaterials. Since mass spectrometry is recently used for materials/structural analysis in industrial and material sciences, the meeting will provide an opportunity to share their data and methods, learn those from their colleagues and discuss the future direction. Some of the key issues on MS for functional materials that have been addressed are listed as the follows: i) ESI, MALDI, and new ionization methods including DESI, DART, and SALDI, ii) Detailed structural analysis by high-Resolution MS and MS/MS, iii) pyrolysis and separation methods such as GC, LC, and SEC, iv) imaging mass spectrometry.

- ■Organizer
- Yosuke Kawai (Osaka Univ.) / Takaya Satoh (JEOL)
- ■Scope
- Young researchers in mass spectrometry are expected increasingly to take an active part in various research fields with continuing to increase in importance of mass spectrometry. While each field has been advanced through specialization and subdivision, it is significantly more important to meet other researchers in mass spectrometry and extend the range of their research fields. The focus of this session is providing the opportunity for young researchers to present their results in an oral presentation and gain a new insight into mass spectrometry through discussion with researchers in various fields. Anything related to mass spectrometry is welcome, regardless of whether it is a well-organized result. Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to give a presentation. We are hoping the participation of you as promising young researchers in mass spectrometry.
