Now I'm jealous! Enjoy! Both Kyoto and the gin!

The Analytical Scientist’s 2025 Power List dropped a few weeks ago and we’re ecstatic that ❗three ❗ of our HUMAN PIs got into the Top Ten for the topic: "What should be done to help analytical science rise to prominence as the keystone of all good science?"

1/3

I’m newly in charge of a course and want to shake up things for the Master’s students a bit.

Hi 👋 PhD students, tell me what would you have liked to learn earlier?

🚨 Scientific writing?
🚨 Presentation skills?
🚨 Mental health awareness?

Together with Aiko Barsch, Matthew R. Lewis, Lisa Abel, and my PhD student from the @human-dn.bsky.social project, @klairvoyager.bsky.social , we'll be building and optimizing methods for small molecule analysis on this new MS and exploring new avenues in 4D #metabolomics and #lipidomics.

Let there be METABOlites...in Munich!

We are happy that, in collaboration with Bruker Daltonics, our lab at @www.helmholtz-munich.de welcomed the first ever installation of a timsMetabo outside of Bruker HQ!

I'm very happy that I have been selected for The Analytical Scientist Power List 2025: theanalyticalscientist.com/power-list/2...! #analyticalchemistry #metabolomics #lipidomics

Before leaving for the summer break, why not register for this years Munich Metabolomics Meeting? We will have great workshop on QA and QC aspects of targeted and non-targeted metabolomics. We are currently filling our programme. Here is a first glimpse: www.munichmetabolomics.com/programme

I'm happy to share my latest article on lipid identification. This was a very nice collaboration with Sara Martínz from Coral Barbas laboratory at the CEMBIO. After the preprint now the final article:

#metabolomics #lipidomics #ead

And the best thing of all: Free of charge! No registration fee!

Have you missed #MetSoc25? Join us for our Munich Metabolomics Meeting. We still have open seats and talk slots! Be fast, they will be taken soonish 😜 Register and submit your abstract under www.munichmetabolomics.com #metabolomics #lipidomics

Today @ansgarkorf.bsky.social is presenting a brand new compatibility, matching the best in class #mzmine software with the brand new #timsMetabo platform.

Come and speak to him at poster 464 for find out how you can discover MoRE! #ASMS2025

At #ASMS2025, we presented a next-gen workflow pairing the #timsMetabo MoRE (Mobility Range Enhancement) with #mzmine and #DreaMS

Compared to conventional LC-MS2, the data delivered:

- 84% more detected features
- 5.7× more MS² spectra
- 3× more spectral matches

Read the full poster to learn MoRE

New preprint online: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... We used EAD on the ZenoTOF 7600 to elucidate structures of #lipids in NIST SRM 1950. This was a nice collaboration with our friends from CEMBIO. #metabolomics #lipidomics

🎉 Big news from the @pride-ebi.bsky.social Team! 🎉

We’re officially in #ASMS2025 mode and kicking things off with a major milestone:

🚀 Introducing PRIDE-AP – the first Affinity Proteomics archive!
🔗 www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archiv...

A new home for your #Olink and #SomaScan and other non-MS data.👇

🚀 New in Metabonaut: tested xcms on a 4,000+ sample LC-MS dataset — all on a laptop! 💻
Fully reproducible + now possible thanks to dev improvements in xcms.
