About the Scientific Club

MATRIX is a scientific club focused on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry and its applications in biomedical research. The Club conducts experimental projects involving MALDI-based analytical techniques, including the preparation and analysis of biological samples and interpretation of mass spectrometry data. Members also prepare scientific review papers and original research articles concerning MALDI, MALDI mass spectrometry imaging, and related analytical methodologies. The Club aims to develop students’ practical laboratory, scientific writing, data analysis, and research skills while promoting further investigation of MALDI-based technologies and their biomedical applications.
