Video Release: Introducing the Koichi Tanaka Mass Spectrometry Research Laboratory
Shimadzu has released a video that provides an overview of the Koichi Tanaka Mass Spectrometry Research Laboratory. The video summarizes the laboratory’s history, research themes, and accomplishments in recent years, all in about 4 minutes!
About Koichi Tanaka Mass Spectrometry Research Laboratory
The Koichi Tanaka Mass Spectrometry Research Laboratory addresses the ultra-early discovery of illnesses, as well as developing methods of analyzing the molecular structure of substances related to disease and health, based on the MALDI-MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry) method.
In 2002, Koichi Tanaka (currently Executive Research Fellow) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for the development of methods for identification and structure analyses of biological macromolecules”. To honor his achievements, the Koichi Tanaka Mass Spectrometry Research Laboratory was established on January 1, 2003. Koichi Tanaka works as the General Manager of the Laboratory.
