Sep. 1, 2011: The results of 12 studies in this project will be presented at the 59th Annual Conference on Mass Spectrometry (September 13–15)

 Various research and development achievements were attained in this project during the 2010 fiscal year. The majority of these were related to mass spectrometry, and the results of 12 studies will be presented at the 59th Annual Conference on Mass Spectrometry (September 13–15 in Senri, Osaka) sponsored by the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan.
 To summarize the results of the 12 studies, “in the post-translational modification analysis of proteins in particular, performance was improved by 1–3 decimal places through development of a variety of pretreatment procedures, ionization, hardware and software, which were applicable to a new analysis of actual cancer-related proteins.”
 The report of the actual results will be posted as new information after the conference.
