"Absolute quantification of neuroinflammation markers in human CSF reveals personalized signatures of progressing neurodegeneration"- great lecture by our very own Andrej Shevchenko at the 26th IMSC in Lyon. The presentation triggered a very lively discussion at the Biomarker session!

Perfect end of summer break - we joined 26th International MS Conference (IMSC) in Lyon! A lot of news! The event was opened with a Cowbell gong🔔🐄, a nice idea of Swiss co-organizers. Surprised with affiliation on the badge: 🤨 Stays mysterious "M" already for MassSpec or still Molecular Biology?. ..

🎉Happy 25th Anniversary, dear MPI-CBG! We celebrate with colleagues, collaborators, friends and families! It is so exciting to welcome our lab alumni and co-workers at the old place again! @mpi-cbg.de

🎉Happy Birthday, dear MPI-CBG! We celebrate a remarkable 25th Anniversary of our research institute! Three generations of our active lab members - Andrea (since 20 years in the lab), Ignacy (since 6 years) and eager young mind PhD student Viditha - can't wait to welcome guests❤️

Congratulations to Anna Kristin Schöfl (MANOS Gymnasium, 11 grade), the youngest scientist in our lab! Supervised by Andrej and Andrea, she studied lipoproteins in blood plasma as part of her high school research project (Wissenschaftliche Jahresarbeit), and successfully defended her thesis 💪

We have a visiting student from the Institute for Biochemistry and Experimental Oncology in Praha in our lab @mpi-cbg.de. Soodabeh Abbasi Sani is learning mass spectrometry-based methods & metabolomics. Happy to share our knowledge with motivated eager young minds of tomorrow!

😮An innovative poster session was introduced @dgms2025.bsky.social conference in Leipzig. Printed posters were replaced by 3-min flash presentation and digital display. Hmm... Not only our PhD student Viditha is surprised and concerned about unconventional form🤨

🏅Sport meets Mass Spectrometry in Leipzig! This week we are @dgms2025.bsky.social conference in historical rooms of Leipzig University's Sportwissenschaftliche Fakultaet. It's still quiet in the early morning, but that will soon change. Looking forward for the days full of science!

We say goodbye to our colleague Dr. Vannur @garikapativs.bsky.social who is leaving the lab to start a new chapter in his scientific career. It was great to meet up with families and friends, and try delicious south Indian food! Good luck and keep in touch with your lab!

Our visit to High Throughput Proteomics Facility at Charite Berlin is the absolute highlight of this week! We looked at Beckman Biomek robotic station and learnt how much automation of lab routine changes research. Will bring this experience @mpi-cbg.de! Big thanks to the hosts Michael and Manuela

LiSyM Status Seminar-2026 is hold right now in Dresden! We are happy to share our latest results in liver #lipidomics and #proteomics with colleagues @mpi-cbg.de and other researches from Liver System Medicine Consortium @lisymcancer.bsky.social. Together we are a very strong team!💪

Congratulations to our colleague Dr. Vannur Garikapati on new step in career development! Following successful postdoctoral research in lipidomics @mpi-cbg.de he'll be building new mass spectrometry Facility at the Medical School Uni Bielefeld. We are very proud of you, Vannur! Stay in touch❤️
