The Milwaukee Analytical Chemistry Conference (MACC) is hosted annually by the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department, the Milwaukee Institute for Drug Discovery (MIDD) and the State-of-the-art Analytical Instrumentation Laboratory and Research Core (SAILARC). The conference covers topics about mass spectrometry and its applications to drug discovery and forensics. The conference has featured guest speakers, workshops, a poster session, and a career fair.

Conference registration is free for 2025 thanks to generous donations. If you plan to attend, please register so that we can plan accordingly. If you need to change your registration, please contact Kevin Blackburn at blackbuk@uwm.edu with any updates.
