From Proteome to Mechanism: In Vivo Insights into Cellular Biology

How can proteomics and metabolomics reveal what is happening inside cells and tissues in their physiological context? This symposium will explore how advanced omics approaches can move from mapping cellular states to uncovering biological mechanisms, from the tumour microenvironment to complex organoid models. Alex Jaeger will present a new approach to lineage-restricted immunopeptidomics, revealing how antigen presentation varies between cell types in the tumour microenvironment and changes throughout tumour evolution. Celia Berkers will discuss how metabolomics and fluxomics, combined with complex model systems, can uncover metabolic dependencies in cancer, identify potential therapeutic targets, and reveal how metabolic communication within the tumour microenvironment contributes to drug resistance.

Join us on 10 February 2027, starting from 14:30.

The Swiss Proteomics Meeting 2026 took place on 23–24 April at the Holiday Inn Bern Westside in Bern, bringing together researchers to share scientific advances, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations in proteomics. The meeting featured two inspiring keynote speakers: Prof. Anne-Ruxandra Carvunis (ETH Zurich), who explored the dark proteome and its emerging role in systems biology, and Prof. Jesper Olsen (University of Copenhagen), who presented advances in single-cell proteomics, focusing on protein turnover and abundance. The programme provided an excellent opportunity for scientific exchange and for early-career researchers to present their work. 

Many thanks to all speakers, participants, and sponsors for making the meeting a success!

The Swiss Proteomics Meeting 2025 took place on 15–16 May at SeminarHotel am Ägerisee in Unterägeri, bringing together researchers to share scientific advances and foster collaborations in proteomics. Keynote speakers Prof. Ruth Huttenhain (Stanford University) and Dr. Marcus Bantscheff (Roche) presented exciting developments in proteomics, from studying protein interactions and cellular signalling to understanding drug targets and mechanisms. The meeting also featured a workshop on artificial intelligence in proteomics, highlighting emerging tools and approaches in the field. 

A big thank you to all our speakers, participants, and sponsors for making this meeting a success!

The Swiss Proteomics Meeting 2024 took place on 20–21 June at the Grand Hôtel & Centre Thermal in Yverdon-les-Bains, bringing together researchers from Switzerland and neighbouring countries to share scientific advances, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations in proteomics. The meeting featured inspiring keynote lectures by Dr. Kirti Sharma (Kymera Therapeutics, USA) and Dr. Fabian Coscia (Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, Germany), who presented exciting developments in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, targeted protein degradation, and spatial tissue proteomics. The programme also included a career development panel discussion and a workshop exploring how proteomics can drive drug development. Many thanks to all speakers, participants, and sponsors for contributing to the success of the meeting!

The Swiss Proteomics Meeting 2023 took place on 11–12 May in Unterägeri, bringing together researchers to exchange ideas and explore advances in proteomics. The meeting featured two keynote speakers: Prof. Chris Tape (UCL Cancer Institute, UK), who presented research on single-cell signalling in tumour microenvironments, and Prof. Tami Geiger (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), who explored the role of the immune system in cancer proteome heterogeneity. The event provided an excellent opportunity for scientific exchange and collaboration within the proteomics community.

Congratulations to Justine Epiney (EPFL), who received the Best Oral Presentation Award, and Tatjana Sajic (University Hospital Lausanne), who received the Best Flash Talk Award. Many thanks to all speakers, participants, and sponsors for contributing to the success of the meeting!
