We're hiring! Two fully funded PhD positions are open in my group at KTH/SciLifeLab, both in the intersection between machine learning, mass spectrometry, and proteomics. One EU MSCA-funded, one DDLS. Details below 👇

Interesting both sides say in separate press releases that they won.

On second thought…..

We did a plasma proteomics study on dengue disease severity in children with Tineke Cantaert and identified early markers of endothelial and inflammatory activation. Great work by @tshamorkina.bsky.social and Sofia! Thanks to all co-authors @hecklab.bsky.social.

It's not hard to run the LC on a separate PC with contact closure. We still run an Acquity this way for some microflow applications. We tried to integrate the two, but didn't seem worth the trouble, and you have to purchase a 3rd party Chromelian license (or at least had to at the time we tested).
Kind of stunned to see this in my inbox, as I had not been aware of Lucas’ passing. Glad to know HUPO will keep his legacy alive.
Our paper out today combines my love of blood proteomics and a seriously awesome group of experts I am humbled to be included alongside. Thanks to @ypriverol.bsky.social and Asier Larrea-Sebal for leading.
This is a great modern review with a nod to non-MS data.

🤞We will have to provide an update when we get something we are happy with.
Thanks I’d seen ASAP (SPEED) used. Yes these are FFPE punches for proteomics, maybe scrolls would have been the better idea. Didn’t imagine imagine the homogenization would be so challenging.
Yeah I know that experience firsthand.
Any recommendation for bead beating large pieces of FFPE tissues? Using 10% SDS plus 1.4 mm zirconium beads doesn’t do much.

Yeah I’ve wondered that since pST seems to ID more than pSTY. Nice to see you in the wild on bsky. Where next?
I see the $200m+ funding for the program on their site but haven’t done a deep dive into current awards.
The mass range of tandem mass spectra can be categorized into three main regions. For glycopeptides, the lower mass range contains mainly oxonium ions, the middle range contains mainly peptide fragments, and the high range contains charge-reduced fragments. All regions contain valuable fragment ion information, but they can only be simultaneously accessed by breaking the 5–10–15 rule.
MS/MS scan range can be an afterthought that doesn't receive attention in method design, but improper settings can affect experimental outcomes. This is especially true in glycoproteomics.

Never disappointed when I go to #ushupo , always a great conference
Seems like you could just get one of those cheap usb microscopes mounted on a stand.
Another awesome #USHUPO in the books. @ucdproteomics.bsky.social is already planning the tour of “Better Call Saul” filming locations for next year in Albuquerque.
Were you at #USHUPO2026 and saw Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and Renã Robinson with Natalie Clark @nmclark2.bsky.social for a LIVE recording of #THEProteomicsShow? Well, I wasn't either, but we now we can bathe our ears in this audio. Find it wherever you find podcasts. anchor.fm/theproteomic...
Quick proteomics question: we want to use an exogenous biotin blocking scavenger for a TurboID experiment. We tried Biolock but is very inconsistent in our hands. Does anyone have another suggestion?
If you are in STL for #USHUPO2026 next week, #THEProteomicsShow is gonna be *LIVE* Monday night at 6:30pm. We've done this a few times now and its always a blast. I can't wait to hear Ben @proteomicsnews.bsky.social and Renã Robinson... and a guest picked immediately before! (volunteers needed!)
