After the general assembly and many fruitful discussions on the future of APMA at APMRS 2023 in Innsbruck, we are delighted to present the formation of our first special interest group Omics Tech Hub. The Omics Tec Hub was started by Lena Fragner, who is an expert in Metabolomics and experienced in a range of MS setups at the University Vienna. It takes place on monthly bases at 3 pm before the journal club:

Next dates and topics are:

Omics Tech Hub series on Databases and Repositories

7th of November 2024, 4 pm CET

Organizers: Yasin El Abiead, Robin Schmid

https://robinschmid.github.io

Program and Topics: Spectral library generation in Metabolomics, role of annotated data, public repositories, public repositories (GNPS/MassIVE, Metabolights, Workbench), metadata (ReDU), public data inspection (Dashboard, Dataset-Explorer), public data re-use (FASST SEARCH, co-analysis with private data, analog search), MASST and specialized microbeMASST

The idea of the Omics Tech Hub is to provide an exchange forum for all interested researchers independent of their academic career. The Omics Tec Hub should be a place for discussing specific technical aspects from sample prep to data validation and is open to anyone interested: juniors, seniors, senior juniors, junior seniors, students, scientists, PIs, technical staff, lecturer, group leader, etc…

If you want to chair a topic or have ideas or wishes for future Omics Tech Hub, please contact us!

  • Missing Values (27.3.2024)
  • Hands-on FAME Analysis GC-MS (15.11.2023)
