Episode 17: What the Heck is Mass Spec?
On this episode of the Interactome, join Joe, Natalie, Sarah, and special guest Margaret as they discover what the heck mass spectrometry actually is. From generating ideas for experiments to protein identification and avenues for treatment in diseases like cancer, mass spec is truly a powerful tool. And with cutting-edge technologies to further its versatility across many science disciplines, this is an episode you don't want to miss!
