The OpenMS team

OpenMS is developed by researchers at three German Universities in Tübingen, Berlin and Saarbrücken.

This list gives contact details of the OpenMS core developers only. However, there is also a large number of undergraduate and graduate students, interns and collaborators how contributed to OpenMS in many different ways.
