Courses@CRG: Advanced Proteomics

Description

The “Courses@CRG: Advanced proteomics course” targets international postdocs and students and aims to provide an extensive update on the most advanced proteomics techniques and applications. The target audience includes PhD students and post-docs with some prior knowledge in mass spectrometry who think proteomics can have an impact on their own research projects. The course combines lectures with hands-on sessions in the laboratory and computational practicals to consolidate the concepts introduced during the theoretical sessions.

Main goals
At the end of the course participants will be familiar with the following topics:

• Principles of mass spectrometry
• Types of instrumentation
• Interpretation of spectra and results
• Methods for sample preparation
• Mass spectrometry experimental design
• Quantitative proteomics
• Targeted proteomics
• Statistical and bioinformatics tools
• Protein-protein interactions
• Network analysis of proteomics data
