Dr. Marc van Oostrum is one of the three finalists selected to present their manuscripts during the manuscript competition in a dedicated plenary session at HUPO2024. Their talks will be evaluated by a panel of experts to select the “Proteomics Highlight of the Year”. Dr. Marc van Oostrum will be presenting his work: The proteomic landscape of synaptic diversity across brain regions and cell types.
Dr. Marc van Oostrum is currently an SNSF Ambizione Junior Group Leader in Prof. Peter Scheiffele’s laboratory at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. His research focuses on employing spatial proteomics to unravel the molecular organization and diversity of neuronal synapses. Marc completed his Master’s in Biochemistry at ETH Zürich, where he conducted his thesis research in Prof. Paola Picotti’s lab. He pursued his PhD at the Institute for Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zürich under Prof. Bernd Wollscheid, specializing in cell surface and spatial proteomics. His postdoctoral work, carried out in Prof. Erin Schuman’s lab at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt am Main, explored the molecular diversity of synapses.
