GBMSDG November Meeting - Epigenetics, Epitranscriptomics & DNA Damage
About this Event
Join us on Wednesday, November 18th, for our next Greater Boston Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group (GBMSDG) meeting at Sanofi!
This month's presentations will explore how mass spectrometry is advancing our understanding of DNA and RNA modifications and their roles in gene regulation, cellular stress responses, and disease. Our speakers from MIT will highlight applications ranging from the discovery of novel nucleic acid modifications to high-throughput DNA adductomics and the characterization of DNA damage and repair.
As always, the evening will include opportunities to connect with fellow scientists from across the Greater Boston mass spectrometry community.
Featured Speakers:
Dr. Peter Dedon | Massachusetts Institute of Technology "Mass Spectrometry for Epigenomes and Epitranscriptomes"
Maysa Ilamanova | Massachusetts Institute of Technology "Discovering New Forms of DNA Damage Using Mass Spectrometry-Based Adductomics"
📍 Location: Sanofi - 450 Water St, Cambridge, MA 02141
📅 Date: November 18, 2026 - 5:30-8:00 PM
