On Thursday, May 6, the Quantitative Elemental Mapping for the Life Sciences Resource hosted an introductory meeting with research partners.  The meeting was about three hours long with presentations given by the Technology and Research Development (TR&D) leads and the Developing Biomedical Project (DBP) members. 

The TR&D presentations covered the new technologies being developed and offered to researchers.  The DBP presentations provide examples of testbed projects that the resource’s technology may help uncover hidden insights.  The links associated with the image to the left include the full video with subtitles.  The links in the table below include the meeting broken into the individual presentations.
