Blueprint to Study the Entire Spatial Cellular Metabolic Landscape
August 26, 2026 @ 15:00 – 16:00 CEST
This month’s Mass Spectrometry Imaging webinar features Prof. Ramon Sun from the University of Florida College of Medicine, USA. He will present the development of an advanced multimodal imaging approach at nanoscale resolution, integrating techniques such as focused ion beam imaging, helium ion microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and NanoSIMS. He will also showcase applications of this approach across a range of research areas.
🕒 Time: 15:00–16:00 (presentation and discussion)
☕ Followed by: Informal discussion with the speaker, 16:00–16:30
📍 Format: Zoom
Meeting ID: 695 7569 0089
Passcode: 999568
About the speaker
Prof. Ramon C. Sun holds the Anne and Oscar Lackner Endowed Chair and directs the Center for Advanced Spatial Biomolecule Research (CASBR). He is also Associate Director of Innovation at the McKnight Brain Institute. His laboratory develops mass spectrometry imaging techniques to map the metabolome, lipidome, and glycome from a single tissue section, and uses machine learning to reconstruct tissue metabolism in three dimensions.
Speaker: Prof. Ramon C. Sun
His group has uncovered central roles for glycogen and protein hyper-glycosylation in Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and other disorders. His work has been published in Nature Metabolism, Nature Communications, Cell, and other leading journals.
