The HUPO Early Career Researcher (ECR) Committee is delighted to welcome Pathmanaban Ramasamy. Keep reading to know more about him!

Pathmanaban Ramasamy (Paddy) is a junior post-doc in the CompOmics group at Ghent University in Belgium. During his joint Ph.D. program between Ghent University and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, he leveraged his expertise in structural bioinformatics and proteomics informatics to unravel the role of local amino acid interactions in protein folding, fold stability, and the location of post-translational modifications (PTMs). He endeavors to unravel the "where, how, and why" of protein PTMs through a comprehensive large-scale investigation that spans these modifications within sequence, structure, and biophysical contexts.

He has been extremely active in bringing the MS proteomics and structure communities together at the European scale, investing heavily in an ELIXIR Europe-funded cross-over study between the three key communities: the 3D-BioInfo (protein structure), Intrinsically Disordered Proteins, and MS Proteomics communities. Paddy is enthusiastic about becoming a member of the HUPO-ECR and looks forward to actively contributing to the support of young proteomics researchers through his involvement with HUPO-ECR and YPIC.
