The Impact of Real-time Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis on the Field of Proteomics
Authors:
Yun-En Chung1 and Mathieu Lavallée-Adam1
1Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology and Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics data analysis has never been more exciting. The combination of computational hardware improvements and a wide diversity of instruments and experimental techniques has created a gigantic playground for computational researchers and software developers. In recent years, one attraction at this playground has gained a lot of attention from both academia and industry: real-time analysis of proteomics data. In this short text, we will cover some of the areas in which real-time analysis of proteomics data has made an impact and applications that have the potential to transcend the field. Read full article here.
We also ask you to weigh in on our Twitter Poll regarding what you think are the applications where real-time analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data will have the greatest impact in the future. Participate in the Poll here.

Want to Learn Why Science Communication Matters and How to Get Better at It?
Join the next online panel hosted by the HUPO Early Career Researcher (ECR) Initiative on November 16th at 4PM GMT for a discussion on 'Science communication - who, how, where, and why?'. We have three wonderful panellists: Dr. David Tabb from the Institut Pasteur, Dr. Ann Van der Jeugd from the Leuven Brain Institute, and Dr. Ben Orsburn from John Hopkins University. Effective science communication has ripple effects through all aspects of society. But how do you convey clear and concise messages? What is the best way to get these messages across a wide range of platforms? Get the answers to all these questions and more!

Jing Yang, China
What is your current position and location?
I have been a Principal Investigator at the National Center for Protein Sciences • Beijing (PHOENIX Center) since 2015.
How did you get started in the field of proteomics?
My PhD work is focused on elucidating the metabolic pathway of gambogic acid (GA) which mainly involves the Michael addition reaction of the intestinal sulfite to an α,β-unsaturated ketone moiety on this natural product (Yang J, et al., Drug Metab Dispos, 2011). Meanwhile, I reasoned that this naturally occurring electrophile might also covalently react with nucleophilic residues on proteins. This hypothesis was validated by mapping GA-adduced cysteine sites on a selected group of proteins, like thioredoxins (Yang J, et al., J Nat Prod, 2012). Finding more GA target proteins is therefore to be a natural extension, which requires an omic approach. Then I joined the Liebler lab at Vanderbilt University in 2012, where I first learned state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based proteomics. After ~ 3 years of postdoc training, I had my own lab and my first project was to get my ‘unfinished work done’ (i.e., chemoproteomic identification of GA targets) (Tian C, et al., Cell Chem Biol, 2017).
