Metaproteomics as a tool to map prebiotic action

The microbiome plays a crucial role in health, disease, and ecological balance, making its analysis essential for advancements in various fields such as medical research, food industry studies, and environmental science. In this regard, metaproteomics offers a powerful and efficient method to gain rapid insights into both the composition and activity of the microbiome by identifying, characterizing, and quantifying microbial proteins.

This webinar will provide an overview of the sample preparation and mass spectrometry analysis stages involved in metaproteomics. Additionally, it will demonstrate the potential of this approach through a practical case study analyzing the effects of prebiotics on a fecal microbiome. Join us to explore how metaproteomics can enhance your research and provide deeper insights into microbial activity.

Presenter: Pierre-Olivier Schmit, Proteomics Business Development Manager, Bruker Daltonics, Bordeaux, France

Pierre-Olivier Schmit joined Bruker in 2000 as an MS application and Demo scientist, after a double training in chemistry (Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier) and biochemistry (university of Lund & Montpellier) and a first experience in developing proteomics approaches (CNRS/Pierre Fabre).He took the head of the French demo lab, taking care of customer support, training and demo operations, and reinforcing an expertise in protein characterization and proteomics. He gradually shifted to a market management position from 2012 on, focusing on bottom-up and top-down proteomics approaches. Since 2021, he is acting as a proteomics business development manager for Western, Nordic and southern Europe.
