Although it was sad the face-to-face ASMS conference was cancelled this year, the Hines lab made the best of the situation. The virtual format also meant the whole group could attend. The Hines lab presented two posters (virtually) at ASMS 2020 thanks to the acceptance of late-breaking abstracts this year. Christian, Kingsley, Keerthi, Tabitha and Shane had a poster on their work to optimize our HILIC-IM-MS method for bacteria lipidomics and the development of an SDF database for bacteria glycerolipids and phospholipids. Dr. Hines presented a poster from a collaboration with the Brindley Lab (UGA) on the role of lipids in Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) infection and viral replication. Dr. Hines also helped to organize the Ion Mobility Workshop this year, which featured a panel discussion on the barriers and opportunities of using IM-MS in industry.
