DSBMS Research Group Website

The Data Science and Bioinformatics for Mass Spectrometry (DSBMS) group is part of the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences — Computational Metagenomics (IBG-5) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. We develop computational methods, algorithms, and software tools for the analysis of small molecules — including metabolites, lipids, and other biomolecules — measured by high-throughput mass spectrometry.

Our work spans untargeted metabolomics discovery, lipid identification and nomenclature standardization, multi-omics data integration, and scalable cloud-native analysis workflows. We are active members of the de.NBI and ELIXIR Germany networks.

We are part of the de.NBI project "Lipidomics Informatics for Life Science" and contribute to joint tool and method development, as well as to trainings, often as part of the annual conference Lipidomics Forum.
