Proteomics 3rd International advanced course 18 - 21 April 2011 Wageningen, The Netherlands organised by the Graduate School VLAG, in cooperation with the Laboratory of Biochemistry (Wageningen University) |
Background
Proteomics is the study of the proteome, the set of proteins expressed in an organism. The proteome can change dramatically depending on biological conditions. Proteomics is able to capture detailed snapshots of the proteome using mass spectrometry techniques. The rapid development in technical advances of instrumentation has lead to new bioinformatics approaches. In this course the focus will be on sample preparation and data analysis of large scale datasets.
Target group
PhD students or Postdocs interested in this course should work on proteomics projects and with a strong background in nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology or a comparable discipline.
In view of the limited number of participants, PhD students and postdocs applying will be selected. Each participant should therefore indicate in 1/2 A4 (maximum) the background of her/his project.
Course design
The course is a 4 days hands-on course with a maximum of 16 participants (PhD's and postdocs are the target group). In the morning sessions lectures on mass spectrometry and proteomics applications and in the afternoon sessions practical work are scheduled. Participants can bring their own sample and one slice of a gel (1D gel is preferred, but 2D gels are also possible, advise on the selection criteria will be provided) will be measured using splittless nano-HPLC Orbitrap FTMS.
