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?

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!

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
