Mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods are finding increasing use in structural biology research. Beyond simple interaction networks, information about stable protein-protein complexes or spatially proximal proteins helps to elucidate the biological functions of proteins in a wider cellular context. To shed light on new developments in this field, the Göttingen Proteomics Forum organized a one-day symposium focused on complexome profiling and proximity labeling, two emerging technologies that are gaining significant attention in biomolecular research. The symposium was held in Göttingen, Germany on 23 May, 2019, as part of a series of regular symposia organized by the Göttingen Proteomics Forum.

MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) combines the speed and molecular specificity of MALDI-MS detection with information on spatial organization. In the last years, MSI found large application in proteomics research for determining the spatial distribution of compounds in biological tissues and started to draw increasing interest in clinical research. To shed light on the new developments in the field of MSI, the Göttingen Proteomics Forum organized a symposium that was held in Göttingen as part of the series of regular symposia organized by the members of the Göttingen Proteomics Forum. The symposium was on 22 November 2012, with more than 80 delegates that attended the event entitled 'Mass spectrometry with spatial resolution: MALDI-imaging and laser capture microscopy'. The one-day agenda consisted of nine oral presentations from renowned experts in the field with subsequent discussion sessions. As usual, the meeting was fruitful and offered a good platform for discussion between the delegates and proteomics specialists.
