Summary
Magnus Palmblad is an Associate Professor and Co-Head of the ELIXIR-NL node who applies quantitative, computational and systematic approaches to proteomics and metabolomics using mass spectrometry. With a PhD in Molecular Biotechnology and over a decade leading research groups and core facilities at Leiden University Medical Center, he bridges method development (retention time modelling, isotopic distributions, tandem MS) with multiomics integration and clinical cohort studies. He has a strong track record of international collaboration and community leadership—serving on HUPO and ASMS committees, editing for the Journal of Proteome Research, and organizing major workshops on AI, workflows and proteomics. Currently he is combining FAIR research software registries and ontologies with generative AI to automate bioinformatics workflow composition, an uncommon blend of wet-lab expertise and cutting-edge informatics. He is equally experienced in mentoring, teaching and coordinating large-scale community projects across Europe and beyond.
