The Government of Canada announces grant funding for MaST3, a mass spectrometry training program focused on collaboration

The Mass Spectrometry Team Training and Transition (MaST3) program aims to equip graduate students with advanced technical expertise in mass spectrometry, alongside essential professional competencies such as teamwork, leadership, communication, and adaptability. MaST3 also prioritizes equity, diversity, and inclusion, and includes community outreach activities. The program is supported by $1.65 million in funding (over six years) through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) initiative, as well as support from universities, research institutes, and hospitals across BC. Led by Dr. Thibault Mayor, the program is a large collaborative effort that also involves the MSL’s Drs. Leonard Foster and David Ng.
