Principles of High-throughput Proteomics Research Course

Porto, 3rd – 6th December 2024

Introduction

Proteomics is a research discipline devoted to the analysis of proteins from complex biological samples. It has been applied to evaluate protein expression, to identify proteins and characterize their post translational modifications (PTMs). Examples of such applications include the analysis and identification of critical molecular events associated to adverse health and ecotoxicological effects. Another major application of proteomics is the discovery of novel disease  associated biomarkers with relevant clinical purposes. The main proteomics research tool is Mass Spectrometry (MS), and specific MS methods and procedures have been developed to carry out discovery-based and hypothesis-driven research.

 

Course aims

This course aims to introduce the main methodologies employed in Proteomics research, including sample preparation and fractionation methods. The course also provides participants practical training in data analysis and interpretation of complex proteomic data obtained from shotgun studies.

This course is supported by the HORIZON.1.2 – MSCA RISE project BlueShellfish GA No. 101086234.

 

Participants

Graduated students, researchers and professors interested in proteomics, mass spectrometry and protein research.

Participants are limited to 20 but a minimum of 10 participants will be required to run the course.

A total of 3 ECTS can be requested by students that conclude the course (for more information contact info.BlueShellfish@gmail.com)
