Afterwards, we enjoyed the ECR Networking Event, which was perfectly organised by the @ypic.bsky.social members.
We will keep you updated with further posts covering #EuPA2025.

We are proud to have such a powerful tool in our mass spec room, driving forward our research and discoveries. Here’s to many more years of groundbreaking science with our Fusion Lumos! 🥂🔬

Here we enjoy state-of-the-art equipment and would like to introduce our laboratory to you today in a short video. However, some things have already changed again, especially with regard to the number and type of our mass spectrometers, which we will present in further posts. So stay tuned.

The MPC is headed by Prof. Dr. Katrin Marcus-Alic and our focus is on the proteomic analysis and characterisation of body fluids, tissue samples, cell culture and model organisms in the context of clinical research.

This is why I cherish collaborating with scientists worldwide across different research areas. I remain grateful for that one research paper that steered me in an unimaginable direction.

What I’ve learned is to stay curious and seek new opportunities to find an environment where you can reach your full potential and find passion in what you do. The versatility of proteomics, allowing its techniques to be applied to various research questions and fields, is what I love most.

Initially, I planned to return to the lab where I did my bachelor’s thesis to continue studying glaucoma pathomechanisms. However, my fascination with proteins turned that internship into a Master’s thesis followed by a PhD and now, my postdoctoral position.

Unfamiliar with these techniques and without guidance from my supervisor, I delved into the literature to understand the concepts. After my presentation, I decided to do a six-week internship at the @mpc-bochum.bsky.social to learn how to conduct such experiments.

I had to present a paper using proteomics during my Master‘s studies and then decided to do a 6-week practical course at @mpc-bochum.bsky.social, which resulted in a Master thesis using PRM

Check out the data in @cp-heliyon.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1016/j.he... 3/3

Methods include quantum laser infrared microscopy, a semi-supervised convolutional neural network and laser microdissection-based proteomics!!! We can show that IHC has an effect on protein abundance when using fresh-frozen tissue. 2/3
