Research Groups

The members of the Metaproteomics Initiative.

The Metaproteomics Initiative brings together research groups from around the world who are dedicated to advancing the field of metaproteomics. Our members include laboratories specializing in wet-lab methods, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics, united by a shared goal of understanding microbial communities through their protein content.

108 member laboratories

26 countries represented
