Proteomics
This Tuesday session will be chaired by Dr Juan Pablo Albar, Proteomics Facility, Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia (CSIC), Madrid, Spain.
Room B13 (Hall B1)14:00
This Tuesday session will be chaired by Dr Juan Pablo Albar, Proteomics Facility, Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia (CSIC), Madrid, Spain.
Dr Liam McDonnell, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands will start the afternoon session by discussing tissue imaging by mass spectrometry. He will explain how by using essentially the same technique but different sample preparation strategies metabolites, lipids, peptides and proteins can be analysed and how spatially correlated analysis, imaging MS, enables the distributions of these biomolecular ions to be simultaneously measured in tissues.
Dr Ulrich Eigner from Labor Limbach, Department of Microbiology, Heidelberg, Germany will follow with a presentation titled “Microbial Identification with MALDI-TOF”. Next up is Ruth Hüttenhain from the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland who will discuss targeted proteomics for the verification of novel plasma-based biomarkers.
After a short break, Dr Claire E. Eyers from the Michael Barber Centre for Mass Spectrometry, School of Chemistry, University of Manchester, UK will present “Scraping the Barrel: Towards Absolute Quantification of the Complete y Yeast Proteome”. She will be followed by Manuel Fuentes from the Cancer Research Center, Department of Medicine. University of Salamanca-CSIC. Salamanca, Spain who will present “Multiplexed Protein Expression and Purification Platform/Protein Microarrays”.
The day will finish with Dr Juan Pablo Ablar (the chair for this session) who will be talking about proteomics data sharing and reporting/ proteomics standardization.
Extracting Estrogenic Hormones Using Rotating Disk and Modified Clays
April 14th 2025University of Caldas and University of Chile researchers extracted estrogenic hormones from wastewater samples using rotating disk sorption extraction. After extraction, the concentrated analytes were measured using liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA).
Profiling Terpenoids in Cannabis with GC×GC-MS
April 14th 2025A joint study conducted by the University of Ferrara (Italy) and the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (Rome, Italy) focused on the analysis of terpenes and terpenoids—key bioactive compounds responsible for the distinctive flavor and potential therapeutic effects of cannabis. For this study, the research team used comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC×GC-MS) coupled with dynamic headspace extraction (DHS) to profile these compounds in cannabis inflorescences. LCGC International spoke to Flavio A. Franchina of the University of Ferrara, corresponding author of the paper which resulted from this study, about their research.
Silvia Radenkovic on Building Connections in the Scientific Community
April 11th 2025In the second part of our conversation with Silvia Radenkovic, she shares insights into her involvement in scientific organizations and offers advice for young scientists looking to engage more in scientific organizations.
