Proteomics seminar series for the South East
Proteomics seminar series for the South East
We are a free, local proteomics seminar series in the South East,
with a focus towards networking, discussion and supporting early career researchers.
The LPDG...
was founded to bring together the large community of proteomics scientists all working in and around London. We aim to provide a space for discussion, with a focus on methods and early career researchers (two fundamental building blocks of good research!), on all topics related to proteomics. The meetings comprise of research talks framed by a proteomics methods challenge, lunch, refreshments and pizza - they are free to attend thanks to sponsorship.
Meeting Dates:
These seminars would not be possible without our amazing sponsors.
If you are interested in sponsoring an LPDG seminar,
please get in touch at sponsor@londonproteomics.co.uk
for 07th November 2024 Time 12:00
Would you like to present at an LPDG meeting? Email: speaker@londonproteomics.co.uk
Research presentations from:
Dr Demichev is the head of the Quantitative Proteomics Laboratory, where his group is developing DIA approaches and algorithms for data processing on the basis of the DIA-NN software suite. A major focus is achieving maximum sensitivity while maintaining quantitative accuracy and confidence in peptidoform identification.
In 2017 he founded ProGenTomics, a proteomics service lab specialized in histone analysis, which became the official proteomics core facility of Ghent University in 2023. Maarten was founding president of the European Young Proteomics Investigators Club (YPIC) in 2016 and became president of the Belgian Proteomics Association (BePA) in 2018. This year, he resigned from the latter and became Chair of the Industry Committee at EuPA.

Shelley Jager is a PhD student working at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. She is interested in protein glycosylation and studying this by mass spectrometry. Her aim is to improve methodology, from glycopeptide enrichment to MS analysis, and applying this to uncover fundamental and applied glycobiology.
Alejandro completed his PhD in 2022 at the University of Dundee under the supervision of Prof. Doreen Cantrell and Prof. Angus Lamond. His research focussed on using large-scale proteomics with computational biology in order to characterise the murine and human immune system, with emphasis on T cells and neutrophils. He recently started working as a postdoctoral researcher within the Walmsley Group at the Centre for Inflammation Research at the University of Edinburgh, where he is focussing on the proteomic characterisation of human granulocytes.
March 2020 Meeting
Here is a list of answers to frequently asked questions for speakers, delegates and sponsors
The meetings are free to attend! We raise money through the generous support of sponsors for refreshments and venue hire. Sponsors are offered the opportunity to suggest a plenary research presentation or present a short (10min) sales talk.
Yes! Thanks again to the support of our sponsors, we are able to provide a sandwich buffet lunch, refreshments, and pizza and drinks to end. We try our best to get a range of refreshments to support diverse dietary requirements, but please let us know in advance if you have any specific needs.
We are always looking for new speakers - from PhD candidates to senior scientists within proteomics. We recruit speakers through personal invitations/networking, suggestions from deligates and from people contacting us directly. If you would like to present at a meeting, we would be delighted to hear from you, please get in touch at speaker@londonproteomics.co.uk
Registration is not essential, but it is very helpful for us to arrange catering and venues to ensure we don't over/under spend. In some cases, where space is limiting, registration may be essential and we will advertise this. If in doubt - register!
We do not have any funding to support delegates. However, if you are speaking, it may be possible to get a travel grant from the British Society for Proteome Research (BSPR). In some instances, we may be able to subsidise travel costs for speakers, but this is dependant on sponsorship for that meeting.
The organising committee is made up of early career (including PhD candidates) and more experienced scientist from academia and industry. We are very keen to have a bredth of backgrounds and experience on the committee, so if you would like to be involved, please get in touch by speaking to a committee member at a meeting, or emailing us - we would like to hear from you!
Our meetings are focused on proteomics and the delegates include proteomics-users from academia and industry. Therefore, at these meetings, there is a "captured audience" of possible clients. Sponsoring our meeting will allow you to present your product or service to a concentrated group of possible users. These meetings are only possible with sponsorship, and you will be contributing to the dissemination of science, and potentially meeting talented future employees through networking.
We have a range of options for meeting sponsorship. To sponsor a meeting, please get in touch at sponsor@londonproteomics.co.uk, we will be delighted to hear from you.
Yes! Just like our physical meetings, our webinars are completely free to attend.
Please register for our meeting in the normal way (click here). A link will be emailed to you prior to the meeting starting with instructions on how to join. Alternatively, a join link for the webinar will also be posted here immediately prior to it starting. For webinars run as a Microsoft Live Event, find instructions on how to join here, or using Zoom here.
The discussion will be mediated by the chairperson who will take questions from all attendees. The best way to contribute during the talk and to post questions is through our slack account.
The meetings are recorded and will be posted to our archive page.
The webinars are put on with the generous support academic institutions (as indicated in the webinar acknowledgements). We may accept sponsorship for webinars to allow us to run competitions and maintain our ability to put on free meetings in high quality venues. Webinar sponsors get the opportunity of a short presentation at the beginning of the webinar, and we may disseminate some information through our mailing list after the event. Sponsorship does not represent endorsement by LPDG or its affiliates.
If you still have unanswered questions after reading this page, wish to present a talk, suggest a venue or sponsor a meeting, please contact us.
The organising committee is made up of early and "not-so-early" career scientists
from academia and industry.
If you are interested in joining the committee, please get in touch.

Please email with any questions.
Particularly welcome are venue suggestions,
speaker suggestions or if you are thinking of sponsoring a meeting.
This seminar series is run by volunteers from academia and industry. We will try to reply to your email as quickly as possible, but please allow at least 5 days.
