LS2 Section Proteomics

Known as the Swiss Proteomics Society (SPS) before its fusion with LS2 in 2016, this Proteomics Section promotes research and education in the science of Proteomics in Switzerland and other countries.

Attend our Symposium at LS2 Annual Meeting 2026

Our Symposium at LS2 Annual Meeting 2026 will be chaired by Paolo Nanni (FGCZ, University/ETH Zurich) and Loïc Dayon (Nestlé Research, Lausanne): “Proteomics in the Era of Multi-Omics”

Speakers:

Rudolf Aebersold (ETH Zurich): "On the dependency of cellular states on the adaptable modular proteome"

Jana Seifert (University of Hohenheim, DE): "Using metaproteomics for livestock microbiome research"

Register by 11.01.2026.

The Meeting will take place on 11 & 12 February 2026 at Campus Irchel of the University of Zurich.

Swiss Proteomics Meeting 2026

The Swiss Proteomics Meeting 2026 will take place from 23 to 24 April 2026 at the Holiday Inn Bern Westside, bringing together researchers exploring the frontiers of proteomics, genomics, and systems biology.

This year’s keynotes feature two outstanding scientists:

Anne-Ruxandra Carvunis (ETH Zurich, Institute of Molecular Systems Biology): A leader in genome evolution and de novo gene birth, combining computational and experimental biology to uncover how new genes emerge and integrate into cellular networks.

Jesper V. Olsen (University of Copenhagen, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research): A pioneer in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, developing next-generation phosphoproteomics and single-cell workflows to chart cellular signalling and protein dynamics.

The meeting will feature cutting-edge talks, flash talk sessions, a workshop and vibrant discussions spanning quantitative proteomics, multi-omics integration, structural and chemical proteomics, and more.

Abstract deadline: 22 February 2026 

Register by 15 March 2026

Do not miss this chance to connect with the Swiss and international proteomics community and be inspired by new perspectives on the protein universe!

European Affiliation

LS2 Proteomics members are affiliated with EuPA. The European Proteomics Association (EuPA) is the federation of European national proteomics societies. The main objectives are to strengthen and promote fundamental research and applications, as well as education and training in all areas of proteomics throughout Europe.

International Proteomics Meeting calendar

A very useful calendar for the Proteomics community!

Contribute to EuPA Newsletter

You can contribute to the official newsletter of the European Proteomics Association. Send in information about “who is who in proteomics” (research groups, scientists); new books, papers and databases; announcements of meetings, courses, thesis, and job offers. Also brief notes on key methodological or biological issues, complementary approaches, recent relevant literature are very appreciated.
