Both were wonderful meetings with the one in Greece giving rise to the better photos  Check out this 360º panorama of the Poseidon temple just off the hotel where the meeting took place: http://www.dermandar.com/p/bYOtEw/poseidon-temple

We systematically analysed post-translational modifications in Mycoplasma pneumoniae using wild-type and knock-out strains of a protein kinase and a protein phosphatase. We additionally charted the lysine-acetylome – apparently acetlylations in M. pneumoniae are nearly as common as in eukaryotic organisms.

Congrats to Vera, Jan, Samuel and the other authors.

I am interested in understanding the dynamics of biological systems by applying quantitative proteomics and metabolomics techniques. I study individual protein complexes, protein interaction networks, as well as entire organisms under relevant perturbation conditions. I aim at answering basic biological questions by integrating large-scale quantitative data from different sources.
