We would like to show our gratitude to SEIMC and specially to Dr. Belén Rodríguez from Hospital Gregorio Marañón of Madrid and Dr. Marina Ovianio from Hospital Universitario of A Coruña for the organization of the ‘First MALDI-TOF Applications Course in Clinical Microbiology’, where we imparted a seminar on data processing for MALDI-TOF MS and a practical course using our web application for data analysis.
