About the LPDG

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.

Research presentations from:

Dr Vadim Demichev
Dr Vadim Demichev
Dr Vadim Demichev Charite University Medicine
Berlin

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.

Dr Maarten Dhaenens
Dr Maarten Dhaenens
Dr Maarten Dhaenens University of Ghent
Belgium

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
Shelley Jager
Shelley Jager University of Utrecht
Netherlands

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.

Dr Alejandro Brenes
Dr Alejandro Brenes
Dr Alejandro Brenes Centre for Inflammation and Research
University of Edinburgh

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.
