About the Symposium

Metaproteomics is the large-scale characterisation of the entire protein complement of a microbiota directly from an environment at a given point in time.  Research examining environmental and human-associated microbiomes via multi-omics is expending rapidly. Especially, functional meta-omic approaches such as metaproteomics are currently employed intensively and provide a more comprehensive picture of multiple environments and their associated microbial communities than what could be done previously.

The International Metaproteomics Symposium is the leading event in the field of metaproteomics and related microbiome studies. The aim of the symposium is to provide a platform for the participants to share their latest results in their respective fields using metaproteomic methods as well as discussing recent technologic innovations and presenting newly developed bioinformatic tools.

The Metaproteomics Symposium welcomes international scientists from every career stage and is characterised by its human dimension and promotion of high-quality interactions. The symposium is set up in sessions with short presentations in order to give the opportunity to present to a majority of the researchers in the field.

Dear participants,

It has been a year now since we were first supposed to meet for the 4th International Metaproteomics Symposium here in Luxembourg.
The covid19 situation has now improved in many places and there was a clear demand during our Online Symposium to finally meet in person.
Even though things could still change relatively quickly, we have decided to try again to organize the symposium this year in September.
The metaproteomics community currently benefits from a strong momentum and we are really looking forward to meeting you all physically in Luxembourg. I thus hope that the situation will stay stable and you can all join us for a covid safe metaproteomics symposium.

Take care!

Ben
