This Staff Exchange will support collaboration between Forschungszentrum Jülich (ELIXIR Germany) and EMBL-EBI to enhance the handling of lipidomics data in MetaboLights. The focus is aligning the lipidomics checklist with the ISA-JSON model, improving support for the mzTab-M format and initiating development of validation approaches to support high-quality lipidomics submissions.

The work contributes to better interoperability within ELIXIR’s metabolomics infrastructure and strengthens collaboration between ELIXIR Germany and EMBL-EBI.
