PTMBact 2024: 5th international congress on Post-translational Modifications in Bacteria

News - Intro image

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for the regulation of cellular functions in all living organisms. They play roles in bacterial virulence, resistance, biofilm formation or motility. With the emergence of increasingly resistant bacterial strains, it is now necessary to research new strategies to combat pathogenic microorganisms. In 2016, an English study estimated that if no progress is done in this field, from 2050 onwards, more than 10 million people will die each year from an infection caused by multi-resistant bacteria, i.e. more than the number of people who die from cancer. Targeting the modified residues and/or enzymes involved in these modification mechanisms could be a promising antibacterial strategy, as is currently used in the context of therapies against specific cancers or latent viral infections.
The interest of the scientific community in bacterial PTMs has been growing steadily in recent years, both internationally and nationally. Thus, the PTMBact international congress was established in 2014 and is held every two years.
This conference brings together researchers with multidisciplinary and complementary skills: microbiology, mass spectrometry, bioinformatics, molecular biology, biochemistry, microscopy...

Previous conferences

From 16 to 19 September 2024, the FPS and the SFSM (French Society for Mass Spectrometry) will be meeting again for their joint congress: SMAP2024.

This event will take place in Lille, a city renowned for its rich heritage and cultural charm. Explore iconic monuments, savour local cuisine and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this European gem. SMAP2024 promises to be a knowledge-rich event, showcasing the latest advances in fundamental and applied mass spectrometry and proteomic analysis, covering topics such as fragmentation modes and structural analysis, MS imaging, coupling with other separative techniques, omics (spatial omics, proteogenomics, metaproteomics, metabolomics, top down), applications in plant biology, the environment and agri-food, biomedical and clinical developments, as well as forensic and heritage studies.


The SMAP 2024 conference will be an opportunity to connect with industry leaders, researchers and innovators in the field. SMAP 2024 offers scientific opportunities, encouraging collaboration and the exchange of ideas. So, in addition to the SFSM and FPS Young Club sessions, an Early Career Researchers (ECR) session will be offered, with a dedicated networking event for ECRs.

Be inspired by presentations from leading experts, influencers and pioneers in mass spectrometry and proteomics. Learn about emerging trends and future directions in MS and proteomics.

This Congress will be held in The University Rector’s Residence of Cordoba, placed in Medina Azahara Avenue, 5, from 06 to 09 February 2024.

The meeting will explore various key topics, including: i) New Advances in Quantitative Proteomics, ii) Single Cell Proteomics, iii) Spatial-Omics: New Frontiers, iv) Clinical Proteomics, v) Proteomics of Non-Model Organisms of Interest in the Agroforestry, Food, and Environmental Sectors, vi)  Bioinformatics and Data Processing and  vii) Topdown & Interactomics. The organizing team, led by the four chairs, Antonio Romero-Ruiz, Mª Ángeles Castillejo-Sánchez, Eduardo Chicano-Gálvez, and Carlos Fuentes-Almagro, have done an excellent job in curating an outstanding program that features presentations and discussions led by international experts in the field.

ProteoAix 2022-3 will be the 3rd Joint Meeting of Spanish, French, and Portuguese Proteomics Societies. The meeting was assembled to provide participants with a broad view of the diverse perspectives and applications of proteomics and its related fields, and emphasising new developments and scientific advances. The meeting programme is organised into main sessions that integrate technical and methodological aspects, their various applications, complementarity with other areas and methodologies, together with up-to-date and state-of-the-art research. The invited speakers were carefully chosen to share and discuss a wide range of topics from the most fundamental aspects to new subjects. Conditions were put in place to allow and promote science sharing by all participants. Plenary lectures, small talks, flash talks, poster sessions, and relaxed social events are programmed so that everyone can interact, discuss, and promote their projects in a great ambience.

En 2020, notre congès annuel a été organisé pour la première fois en association avec les Sociétés Espagnole et Portugaise de Protéomique. Suite à la situation sanitaire liée au COVID19, il s'est déroulé par visioconférence le 12 novembre 2020. Le succés a été au rendez-vous avec plusieurs centaines de connexions, de très belles présentations et une forte implication de nos jeunes collègues qui ont rivalisé d'originalité dans leur talks.
