It was a pleasure for a part of our team to attend the engaging and delightful ICBL 2023 conference in Palma de Mallorca from 02.-06.10.2023. We seized the opportunity to share our latest results with the lipid community and, in turn, found inspiration in the fascinating projects presented by fellow scientists. We are looking forward to next years ICBL conference in Taiwain!

In August, our PhD-student Jakob Koch attended the 8th Lipidomics Forum in Vienna lasting from 27.-30.08.2023. A core focus of the meeting was clinical lipidomics and method development. Jakob presented a poster with data on the reliable discrimination between ether lipids and plasmalogens utilizing the trapped ion mobility technology.

Our PhD-student Jan Cremer attended this year’s SSIEM2022 conference in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany from 30.08.-02.09. On his poster, Jan presented his work on matrix effects encountered when working with dried blood spots. This really was a perfectly organized conference with people from all around the globe, where it was hard to decide which of the parallel talks to visit.

On the 17th of June, the whole team came packed up to the institute, as we were leaving to Obergurgl for our lab retreat. After enjoying an initial round of perfect Bavarian beer, we started with talks and workshops. As wonderful and informative as the presentations were, the beautiful weather tempted us to venture outside. We took advantage of it by going on a longer hike and admiring the breathtaking landscape.

Happy to present our review exploring the challenges of “Interpreting phospholipid and cardiolipin profiles in rare mitochondrial diseases” in Current Opinion in Systems Biology. 

Great collaboration with Alexandra Lusser and her team! Was an honor to be able to contribute to their study “CHD1 controls H3.3 incorporation in adult brain chromatin to maintain metabolic homeostasis and normal lifespan” in Cell Reports.

We congratulate Yvonne for being awarded with the Prize for the Best Scientific Talk at the 13th Annual Meeting of the ÖGMBT.

A highly interesting and very successful visit of Jakob to the 1st International Lipidomics Society and 7th Lipidomics Forum in Regensburg. We are proud that Jakob received the Best Presentation Award sponsored by Lipotype
