Following the inspiring discussions at APMRS 2023 in Innsbruck, APMA launched its first special interest group: the Omics TecHub. Now firmly established as a regular platform, the Omics TecHub is organized by Boryana Petrova and Lena Fragner, both experts MS based omics techniques. It serves as a dedicated forum for researchers at all career stages to exchange ideas and tackle technical challenges, from sample preparation to data validation and repository management. Open to everyone—students, scientists, PIs, and technical staff—the Hub fosters collaboration and innovation. Regular sessions cover diverse, cutting-edge topics, and participants are encouraged to suggest ideas or volunteer to chair discussions to help shape the future of this growing initiative.
Next dates and topics are:
Lessons learned from absolute quantitation – Part II
From targeted to untargeted metabolomics
📅 Date: March 24th, 2026
⏰ Time: 10:00 AM CET
📍 Location: Online (Webex)

🔑 Passcode: MCmyhs9vh35
Speakers:
🎤 Harald Schöny
“Accurate, absolute quantification in metabolomics and lipidomics“
Koellensperger Lab Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry University of Vienna
🎤 Martin Brenner
“From Raw data table to (absolute) concentrations – AI-Assisted programming of EMSDA (Easy Metabolite Statistical Data Analysis tool)”
Div. Molecular Systems Biology Dep. of Functional and Evolutionary Ecology University of Vienna
🎤 Lisa Panzenböck
“MOSS-Modeling Of Slopes for Surrogate selection – Providing quantification estimates in non-targeted metabolomics”

Tackled questions are:
How to select calibration range for accurate quantitation?
What to do, if you don’t have a standard for desired compound?
Which Tools/Software to use?
….. And yours?
Organizer: Lena Fragner, Boryana Petrova
