Dr Alan Stewart and Dr Swati Arya would like to thank the organisers of ICAP2019 for an excellent meeting in Lisbon. Alan presented our work on drusen proteomics using SWATH-MS in an invited talk entitled ‘Hydroxyapatite interactome in Age-related Macular Degeneration’. Whilst Swati scooped a poster prize with her poster entitled “Quantitative proteomic changes in LPS-activated monocyte-derived dendritic cells”.
