About Us - Canadian LC-MS Group
The Canadian LC-MS Group was initially called Toronto LC-MS Discussion Group. It was founded by Dr. Fabio Garofolo under the Calibration and Validation Group (CVG) in 2002 to respond to the need for LC-MS activities in the scientific community of Greater Toronto Area.
The Group activities focus on:
- Fostering innovation & implementation in Mass Spec field by inviting “TOP” lecturers
- Promoting exchange of knowledge and sharing of ideas on Mass Spec topics (Pharmaceutical, Environmental, Forensic and Applied Science)
- Providing a fair forum to discuss Mass Spec issues in industrial, academic, and governmental fields
- Getting to know fellow colleagues from different organizations
- Learning, through our Sponsors, about recent developments in Mass Spec related techniques and instrumentations.
All-year round events are attended routinely by our members from Canadian Industry, government, and academia.
The Mass Spectrometry Annual Symposium is held in Toronto / Montreal in September and it is attended by total more than 400 people each year. 15-20 scientific talks and more than 70-100 posters are presented each year, together with over 20 sponsors and exhibitors. All oral presentations are evaluated and approved by our Scientific Committee.
The LC-MS Discussion Group Meetings (including Post-ASMS Discussion Group Meeting) are held in Toronto in February, April, June, September and November each year. Each meeting is attended by 100-150 people. 3-5 talks are evaluated by our Scientific Committee and presented at each meeting.
The LC-MS/MS Training Courses are offered in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver each year covering LC-MS Technique, LC-MS Optimization, LC-MS Method Development and Bioanalysis & GLP Regulations.
The Annual Bioanalytical GLP Workshop discusses the recent issues in regulated bioanalysis. It is a must attend event for those involved in Bioanalysis and Pharmacokinetics. The participants will receive an exhaustive update on the hot topics from experts in the field (Regulatory Agencies, Pharmaceutical Companies and Contract Research Organizations)
