Event Date
Our Introductory Hands-on Proteomics Course is designed to expose participants to fundamental technology platforms and current methodologies in the field of mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The week will include a combination of equal parts hands-on laboratory work, lectures and interactive data analysis in the computer lab.
The following topics are covered:
- Fundamentals of mass spectrometry and proteomics
- Bottom-up quantitative and non-quantitative nano-electrospray proteomics tandem mass spectrometry (nESI-LC/MSMS)
- Hands on Sample preparation and processing
- Nano-scale HPLC & peptide-spectrum matching using open-source software
- Introduction to quantitative proteomics using data independent analysis (DIA)
- Data analysis, using free and comercial. programs such as Fragpipe, DIA-NN and Spectronaut.
This course is imited to 35 participants
Who should attend?
This course is designed for beginner or intermediate researcher in the field of Proteomics. We are proud to say we have always a very diverse mix of participants in terms of research focus, experiences and expertise,which leads to interesting discussions and questions. There are no prerequisites other than familiarity with general biological concepts and an enthusiasm for learning about proteomics. Laboratory experience working with proteins and prior experience with data analysis is usually helpful.
What do I need to bring? … This data analysis portion of the workshop will be held in a computer room on the UC Davis campus, which has desktop computers running Microsoft Windows OS. You may bring your own laptop to use. However, some of the proteomic-specific software only runs on Windows.
Can I bring my own samples? … We will provide samples for the wet lab portion of the workshop. However, if you have your own samples you want to work with, please contact us to discuss their suitability.
Can I bring my own data? … We will be generating the data ourslves duing the first half of the course. There will be time, however, to discuss your own datasets and how you might work with them outside of the workshop.
