After getting master's titles in both fields, he joined the bioinformatics group of Prof. Anna Gambin at the University of Warsaw. There, he completed his Ph.D. in computer science, after which he was awarded the best Ph.D. in bioinformatics prize by the Polish Bioinformatics Society. After that, together with his dear wife, he moved to Mainz and started working at Prof. Tenzer's mass spec core facility at the Johannes Gutenberg University Medical Center.</p><p>I have a Ph.D. in computer science and both a master's and bachelor's titles in mathematics and computational economics. During the Ph.D., I was introduced to the field of mass spectrometry and collaborated extensively with top–down mass spectrometrists: prof. Frank Sobott, prof. Dirk Valkenborg and Dr. Frederik Lermyte. Back then, we were trying to address problems with a relative lack of software for the analysis of top–down mass spectrometry data in proteomics. In that emerging technique, proteins are fragmented directly in the mass spectrometer instead of being digested by trypsin before being introduced into the instrument. Whole proteins are much larger than peptides, can obtain many more charges during the ionization phase, and their fragmentation in the instrument provides much more observable fragments. Solving this problem basically required writing a whole peptide-centric analytical pipeline from scratch.</p><p>I am currently helping in the optimization of the construction of the data collection on a timsTOF device. timsTOF mass spectrometers are relatively new instruments used in exploratory proteomics that pair traditional liquid chromatography and mass time-of-flight mass spectrometry with ion mobility separation.

This creates a technical problem, as the detector can get overwhelmed by the sheer number of ions. This also creates a data interpretation problem.

First, it is important to start to plan early before the end of the PhD since finding the right group as well as the bureaucratic process can take a lot of time. I recommend planning at least 1 year in advance. The most difficult decision is probably which research institute and group to apply to.

Currently, the Austrian Armed Forces use the DOUBLEPEN OA two-chamber autoinjector (ChemProtect) to administer these two drugs. The autoinjector is a part of military standard equipment as a “Basic CBRN-First Aid Kit” and contains OB and AT with a declared concentration of 220 mg/2 ml and 2 mg/2 ml, respectively. Especially in the two-chamber autoinjectors, it is highly possible that not all the content of the antidote solution is administered when the autoinjector is triggered. The purpose of the study was to analyze one hundred DOUBLEPEN OA autoinjectors from two different production batches (1707068 and 1707067) for volume loss, drug content and uniformity of dosage unit. Uniformity of dosage units, assessed by the content uniformity method (Chapter 2.9.40 of the European Pharmacopeia), requires the calculation of an acceptable value to quantify the uniformity of the drug product. An acceptance value for the first 10 dosage units of 15.0% or below is considered acceptable. The loss of volume was calculated by determining the density and mass of the solution after triggering the autoinjector. A quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography method has been developed and in-house validated for the determination of the content of two drugs. According to International Council for Harmonisation guidelines, the analytical method was proven to be accurate and repeatable. The obtained results show that the average loss of volume after injection was 5%, and the average content of OB and AT for batch 1707068, was 216.5 and 1.9 mg, while for batch 1707067 it was 224.2 and 2.0 mg, respectively.
