Dr. Jana Geuer, who is a Postdoc at the Max Planck institute for Marine Microbiology in the Metabolic Interactions Research Group of Prof. Manuel Liebeke, has embarked on an exciting scientific journey with the sea4soCiety consortium. Their mission? To uncover new molecular processes for carbon s...
Hello everyone! My name is Bruna and I will be working on the sea4soCiety project investigating the role of dissolved organic compounds present in coastal ecosystems. More specifically, I will apply Mass spectrometry techniques to identify compounds exuded by Salt Marshes plants and found in pore...
Hey everyone! My name is Malin. I joined the MS group of the symbiosis department for my PhD. My research will be focused on the characterization of the gut microbiome and metabolic interactions occurring between the host and microbes. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with Kie...
Hello! As a new laboratory assistant at Business Academy Aarhus in Denmark, I am thrilled to be embarking on a journey of discovery and exploration in the field of GC-MS. I am eager to gain hands-on experience in the laboratory and contribute to ongoing research projects. Throughout my internship...
Hi my name is Tomasz and I will be working as laboratory assistant in MS-group in Symbiosis department. An internship in the institute is part of my studies: Chemical and Biotechnical Science at the Business Academy Aarhus. I have always enjoyed working in a field of chemistry and this is the rea...
Hello everyone!
My name is Jana and I will be working on the sea4soCiety project to better understand the role of metabolites in carbon sequestration within coastal environments. Previously, my research focused on the interaction between organic matter and metals in aquatic systems. I am particu...
Grace D'Angelo presented her poster entitled, 'Exploring Carbon Cycling in Complex Microbial Communities with Metaproteome-derived Stable Isotope Fingerprints' at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference. This project and poster are part of collaborative work with the Kleiner ...
Developing innovative and socially accepted approaches to improve the natural potential for carbon storage in vegetation-rich coastal ecosystems: that is the goal of the new research consortiumsea4soCiety, in which the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in...
We congratulate Dr. Dolma Michellod on the successful defense of her PhD thesis entitled, "Investigating the lipid profile of animal-microbe symbioses."
A new laser ion source was installed in our lab. With the brand new AP-SMALDI-5AF we are able to do routine measurements at spatial resolution down to 5 µm. Additionally we increase measurement speed and sample throughput up to ten fold if a lower mass resolution is acceptable.
Correlative chemical imaging in symbiosis: Our workflow, combining mass spectrometry imaging and microCT in a multimodal 3D atlas of a symbiotic invertebrate is now online in PNAS. Congrats Benedikt!

The mass2adduct paper, which describes a method for identifying adducts in mass-spec imaging data, was recently published. Congrats to the team consisting of Moritz Janda, Brandon KB Seah, Dennis Jakob, Janine Beckmann, Benedikt Geier, and Manuel Liebeke. Find out more at these links:
Dennis Jakob presented a poster at the virtual It Ma(t)Ters conference on his Master's thesis work combining spatial metabolomics with spatial transcriptomics. With this work, Dennis won one of the poster prizes voted on by the conference attendees.
We congratulate Dennis Jakob, who successfully defended his Master's thesis entitled, "Combining MALDI MS imaging and transcriptomics to investigate phenotypic heterogeneity of intracellular symbionts in deep-sea mussels"
The Otto Mønsted Foundation has provided funding for Dr. Manuel Liebeke to join as a guest professor at the Danish Technical Institute in 2021. He will collaborate with the CeMiSt center in their new mass spectrometry imaging center and participate in talks, seminars, and other interactions with ...
We went to the DESY in Hamburg with our host-microbe samples to do super high-resolution scanning. First steps to scan frozen and not-contrasted samples.
Benedikts paper is published - if you like to see more about the connection of high resolution 3D scanning with MALDI-MSI have a look here...
Janine, Dennis and Patric went to the Dreiswerd lab in Münster to look at new spraying methods and look at the newest super high resolution MALDI -imaging source
Benedikt Geier, PhD student in the Department of Symbiosis at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, was awarded this year's MSI Award for his innovative method for visualizing and investigating symbioses.
