Grant Description

To understand how metabolites and drugs function in our bodies, it is essential to map their distributions accurately within tissues and cells. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is emerging as a powerful technology for this.

We and others have collaborated with industry to improve SIMS instruments so that it is now possible to image tissues at micron spatial resolution with high mass resolution (>240,000 at m/z 200) and
