The Analytical Scientist’s 2025 Power List dropped a few weeks ago and we’re ecstatic that ❗three ❗ of our HUMAN PIs got into the Top Ten for the topic: "What should be done to help analytical science rise to prominence as the keystone of all good science?"

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?

Together with Aiko Barsch, Matthew R. Lewis, Lisa Abel, and my PhD student from the @human-dn.bsky.social project, @klairvoyager.bsky.social , we'll be building and optimizing methods for small molecule analysis on this new MS and exploring new avenues in 4D #metabolomics and #lipidomics.

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!

If you have ever wondered what might happen to short chain fatty acids made by the microbiome. Here is a large class of metabolites and how they link to biology. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

The microbiome diversifies long- to short-chain fatty acid-derived N-acyl lipids

Mass spectrometry data mining tools enabled the creation of an MS/MS spectral library containing hundreds of N-acyl lipids, including conjugates with short-chain fatty acids. This resource enabled the...

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
