- In or around Lausanne on the 30th of September? Gerben Menschaert, me and our partners from BioLizard are organising a Breakfast meeting where we will present both sides of every -omics project: data generation and data analysis! Join us to learn how to allign those two parts for the best outcome. Be sure to register and see you there 👋

- Very glad to have contributed to this year's tenth celebration edition of the BEPA Proteomics Summer School talking about #multiomics and #proteogenomics. Crossing de borders, where LC-MS/MS and NGS/TGS reinforce each other. #RIBOseq, #ONT. Last day is all about applications: N-terminal proteomics, Kris Gevaert Multi-omics, Gerben Menschaert MS-based protein complex analysis, Sven Eyckerman Spatial omics, Evelien Van Hamme Single cell proteomics, Marcel Bühler Clinical proteomics, Jarne Pauwels Immunopeptidomics, Francis Impens
- Great to see this MSCA Doctoral Network coordinated by #HelmholtzMunich being granted by #HorizonEurope. This network allows future PhD students to have training all across Europe in the metabolic disease area. As an industry partner, OHMX.bio will enable a secondment focussing on learning how to detect so-called dark proteins based on proteomics and long-read RNA sequencing data in close collaboration with Imperial College London. The aim is to learn to understand the role of the "dark genome" in diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
- OHMX.bio and BioLizard are hosting a breakfast session at Biopôle Lausanne, and I'll be there alongside Joannes van Cann, PhD and the BioLizard team (Alexander Koch and Karina Saakyan). The morning is built around a practical question: how do you combine omics data and bioinformatics to actually move your research forward? We'll be walking through real-world case studies, running an open Q&A, and offering 1-on-1 slots to dig into your specific data challenges.
