Proud members of Microverse Cluster of Excellence

We are thrilled to announce that the proposal “Balance of the Microverse” has been selected as a cluster of excellence by the Excellence Commission, consisting of the members of the international Committee of Experts and the research ministers of the federal and state governments of Germany. Group leader Prof. Christoph Steinbeck is one of the […]

Slides of my talk on NMR data sharing at ACS Boston, August 2018

The slides of my talk on NMR data sharing at ACS Boston, August 2018, can be found at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.6984314 The submitted abstract was: NMR spectroscopic data is a cornerstone in the structure elucidation and identification of organic molecules. In publications on newly synthesised compounds and their intermediates as well as in the characterisation of novel natural […]

Steinbeck group joins ChemBioSys to lead INF project

With effect from 1 July 2018, we are proud members of the collaborative research center ChemBioSys to lead the informatics project. ChemBioSys, composed of 18+ research groups and PIs at the University of Jena, the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology and the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Ecology,  investigates the regulation, activity and function […]

Current Challenges in Plant-Ecometabolomics

Our new overview article entitled “Current Challenges in Plant-Ecometabolomics” has just appeared in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences [tpcite key=”Peters:2018cv”]. As we explain in the abstract, “[t]he relatively new research discipline of Eco-Metabolomics is the application of metabolomics techniques to ecology with the aim to characterise biochemical interactions of organisms across different spatial and […]

Postdoc Position in Cheminformatics and Computational Metabolomics

A postdoc position is available in my research group at Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany. Open Positions: Postdoc: We are looking for a talented cheminformatician, bioinformatician or someone with comparable skills to work on the development cloud-based methods for computational metabolomics. The successful candidate will work closely with the H2020 e-infrastructure project PhenoMeNal, a European consortium of 14 […]

Compliance with minimum information guidelines in public metabolomics repositories

Rachel Spicer in my group in Cambridge has published an article in Nature Scientific Data on the compliance with minimum information guidelines in public metabolomics repositories.  The abstract: The Metabolomics Standards Initiative (MSI) guidelines were first published in 2007. These guidelines provided reporting standards for all stages of metabolomics analysis: experimental design, biological context, chemical […]

Opinion Piece on the Future of Metabolomics in ELIXIR

Leading metabolomics researchers across Europe have co-authored an opinion piece in F1000 Research about “The Future of Metabolomics in ELIXIR”. ABSTRACT: Metabolomics, the youngest of the major omics technologies, is supported by an active community of researchers and infrastructure developers across Europe. To coordinate and focus efforts around infrastructure building for metabolomics within Europe, a […]
