Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has emerged as a powerful technology in the pharmaceutical industry with broad potential to enhance the discovery and development of new medicines. As with all new technologies used to support the discovery and development of new pharmaceuticals, scientists must develop, validate, and establish best practices to assure that the integrity of the data obtained supports new drug registration. The Imaging Mass Spectrometry Society (IMSS, leader: Eric Solon) and the Japan Association for Imaging Mass Spectrometry (JAIMS, leader: Yukari Tanaka) are conducting a thorough survey of IMS scientists, data analysts/users, project managers/leaders, and pharmaceutical compliance specialists who are currently using IMS techniques in support of their drug discovery and development efforts and/or who plan to use such tools as best practices are established. We would like to widely deliver new drugs to more patients through appropriate use of IMS technology and drug research and development.
