About the course
Mass spectrometry plays a central role in Proteomics and will still be a key technology in a foreseen future. The data produced by this family of techniques are heterogeneous. This reflects many possibilities of use of specific properties and capabilities of the existing instrumentation panel in different experimental workflows.
Bioinformatics treatment of the generated data has become unavoidable for every proteomicist. However, the understanding of strengths and limitations of all those fast-evolving technologies is not at all an obvious task.
The objectives of the proposed course are:
-
Review the principles of Mass Spectrometry (MS) and its applications to Proteomics
-
Study the bioinformatics approaches for the analysis of MS data
-
Learn how to get a critical view on MS methods and results of protein identification, quantitation and characterization.
The course is aimed to people who would like to deepen their knowledge of wet & dry methods used in the analysis of MS data in Proteomics and for those that already have basic notions of Proteomics.
Deadline for applications: July 7th, 2006
