The year 2024 has seen many great developments - just to name a few:
The ESSB was founded, Spatial Proteomics was named Method of the Year 2024 and our ESSB founding conference took place in Berlin with over 500 participants – a great success! You can see some impressions on our website.
We have now created the basis for anyone who wants to become a member of the ESSB to register.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to help shape the ESSB, e.g. if you have ideas for working groups within the society. We are also looking for applications for the position of “Young Researcher Representative” on the ESSB Steering Committee/Board. Please send us your full curriculum vitae, a 1-page CV (including your 3 most important publications of the last 5 years) and a letter of motivation. After an internal pre-selection of candidates by the Board, there will be an official electronic election by all members.
We are looking forward to the further activities of the ESSB and to the 2nd ESSB conference in Heidelberg from October 14 to 17, 2025!
