Mass Spectrometry Imaging Zoom Seminar
MALDI MSI as a versatile and informative tool for the analysis of trace evidence
Speaker: Prof. Simona Francese from Sheffield Hallam University (SHU), UK
The monthly Mass Spectrometry Imaging Zoom seminar in Gothenburg, organised by the NanoSIMS Sweden. This webinar series is aimed at introducing mass spectrometry imaging methods to potential users in various research fields and to initiate potential collaborations within and outside the University of Gothenburg. Prof. Francese is the Lead of the Sheffield Multi-Modal Imaging Centre and Head of the Centre for Mass Spectrometry Imaging at SHU. She is an expert in the development of MALDI MS Imaging applications and has pioneered its development for the analysis of latent fingermarks and blood to profile offenders. She has engaged in research at the interface between forensics and clinical diagnostics using blood and sweat in fingertip smears to detect cancer and other pathologies. She has generated more than 100 publications. Her research has been implemented in police casework in UK and Europe and has been partly funded by the Home Office, West Yorkshire Police and The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, UK.
