26th April 2025 Borja (first author), Dörte, and Sandra published a paper titled "Alpaca. A Simplified and Reproducible Python-Based Pipeline for Absolute Proteome Quantification Data Mining" in Proteomics. Please find it here.
23th March 2025 Fynn successfully defended his master thesis with the title “Optimizing protein extraction and fractionation from rumen metaproteomics: Insights into dietary effects on microbial and protozoal communities”. We wish him all the best for the future.
19th February 2025 Sophie successfully defended her master thesis with the title “A mass spectrometry analysis of the effect of prolonged vancomycin stress on the proteome of Clostridioides difficile 630Δerm”. We wish her all the best for the future.
13th-16th January 2025 Vaikhari, Irsha and Anke participated in the 6th International Metaproteomics Symposium in Oslo. They presented their data on posters entitled “FISH-FACS and label-free quantitative proteomics from ultra-low cell numbers of environmental microorganisms” (Vaikhari) and “Metaproteomic insights into diurnal variability of bacterioplankton communities during a spring phytoplankton bloom in the North Sea” (Anke). Vaikhari won one of the two poster prizes with her poster. Congratulations!!! A link to the April 2025 newsletter of the Metaproteomics Initiative can be found here.
