Congrats to Claire and Cody! Happy to be a part this program.

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such a great group of people @VanderbiltCDB

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

To welcome new team members and with recent good news, we braved the rain to head out for a group lunch to celebrate. @VanderbiltCDB @VUBasicSciences

Out of the frying pan and into the pancreas! @angelakrusephd at @spragginslab used #3DMicroscopy to open a window pane within the pancreas showing a neural node. The pancreas makes enzymes necessary for the pandemonium of digestion, a real Pandora's box if ever there was one!

Always a surprise how well Chris can image bone by MALDI IMS. Lots of interest at @asmsnews in our work with @CassatLab on bone infection. @VanderbiltChem

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

So happy for Jackie! Her presentation at #ASMS2023 on our work with @EricSkaar and @vandeplaslab on how infection alters tissue microenvironments was simply stunning. Way to rep our lab and @VanderbiltChem @VanderbiltCDB

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

@ClaireF_Scott ‘s first #ASMS2023 poster on her work developing methods for multimodal imaging of white matter hyperintensities was a hit! @VanderbiltCDB

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

We always get asked about reproducibility and QC/QA.. @KateDjambazova had the imaging community’s attention with her work addressing this challenge at #ASMS2023 as part of our @_hubmap and @KPMProject efforts. @VanderbiltCDB

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

Integrated MALDI and CODEX - not your typical poster by a first year research assistant! The talented @ElliePingry crushed it! @VanderbiltCDB #ASMS2023

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

Incredible presentation by Jacqueline Van Ardenne on the molecular distribution of staph infected kidneys! 👏👏👏

Special thanks to our collaborators on this project @EricSkaar and @vandeplaslab

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

@AllisonEsselman

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

So proud of the amazing work and wonderful presentation by Ally Esselman (grad student @VanderbiltChem) at #ASMS2023. Thanks to our collaborators and friends in the @vandeplaslab

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

Great times at our @PrenticeLabUF / @vandeplaslab / @SpragginsLab dinner last night! Such a fun annual tradition and opportunity to get to know new friends at #ASMS2023. #teamMassSpec

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

Great job @KateDjambazova! Very impressive panel on isomeric differentiation in molecular imaging. @VanderbiltCDB

[Boone Prentice @BoonePrentice]

Great panel discussion at the #ASMS2023 imaging workshop panel tonight. Thanks to all of the presenters and attendees! @min_fan59925 @LabLaskin @BrodSquadUT @Tingting_Yan9 @EllisMSILab @KateDjambazova @SpragginsLab @PrenticeLabUF @IMSSNews

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

Check out our Wednesday lineup at #ASMS2023 including @AllisonEsselman talk on microscopy directed imaging.

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

As usual, Martin’s amazing images drew a crowd @asmsnews #imaging #TeamMassSpec

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

Tuesday #ASMS2023 poster presentations from the Spraggins lab

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

Mondays posters at #ASMS2023

[Spraggins Lab @SpragginsLab]

Two incredible oral presentations coming from the Spraggins lab at #ASMS2023

@AllisonEsselman will unravel the molecular distribution of glomeruli using microscopy-directed high spatial resolution IMS, while jackie dives deep into the molecular distribution of S. aureus abscess

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

Great job @angelakrusephd! One of many @_hubmap images of the week.

[Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) @_hubmap]

@_hubmap researcher @angelakrusephd vision brought this #3DMicroscopy image of the vasculature in the retina to light! And for those of you who are grateful the cornea puns are at a minimum, these aren’t puns, they are optical allusions 📷

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

We have opportunities applying these technologies to Alzheimer's disease, acute kidney injury/chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and infectious disease. #HuBMAP #KPMP

[Jeff Spraggins @JeffSpraggins]

Happy to be a part of these NIH molecular atlasing efforts. Interested in developing spatial/multi-omics technologies to understand human health and disease? Please reach out. Looking to add multiple members to our team. #cellbiology #molecularimaging
