Viktoria Dorfer  studied Bioinformatics at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and received her Ph.D. in informatics from the Johannes Kepler University Linz. Her research interests focus on computational proteomics, especially on peptide identification, which was also the topic of her Ph.D. thesis, entitled “Identification of Peptides and Proteins in High-resolution Tandem Mass Spectrometry Data”. Part of this thesis was the development of the MS Amanda peptide identification algorithm. At present, Vikoria is working as Professor for Bioinformatics at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and is supervising two Ph.D. students and one master's student in the field of computational proteomics.

MS Amanda goes West: Integrating a Search Engine into Skyline

Mass spectrometry has become the method of choice for analysing proteins, demanding reliable and state-of-the-art software. Skyline has emerged as one of the most popular of these tools, supporting the generation and use of spectrum libraries from various analysis pipelines, however requiring separate pipeline execution. We present a fully integrated workflow for peptide identification and quantification within Skyline that incorporates the MS Amanda search algorithm. Read More Read Less
