EMBL Course

Hands-on course for sample preparation and data analysis in proteomics

Overview

Registration is not yet open for this event. If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.

Course overview

The course will give an introduction to the theoretical aspects of the analysis of proteins/peptides by mass spectrometry. Participants will get hands-on experience in sample preparation for a quantitative comparison across samples and perform an in-solution digest using Single-Pot Solid-Phase-enhanced Sample Preparation (SP3) (Hughes et al., Molecular Systems Biology, 2014) and tandem mass tag labelling (TMT). The SP3 technology was developed at EMBL. It enables scientists with a proteomics sample preparation method from nearly any starting buffer conditions (e.g. Laemmli buffer).
Participants will measure their own produced samples using LC-MS/MS and will learn in a session focused on the bioinformatics analysis how the acquired data will be analysed using MSFragger and R. Best practices and Proteomics data management will be a focus of this course.

Audience

All scientists working in the lab from technicians, PhD students to Postdoc’s that use or want to use proteomics for their research. You should have an understanding of protein biology and should know the principle of proteomics. Ideally, you have had experience with proteomics or send samples to a facility or collaboration partner for analysis.

Learning outcomes

  • Improvement of sample preparation to boost the data quality
  • Awareness which aspects of sample preparation can influence the outcome of the experiment
  • Seeing the portfolio of the services of the proteomics core facility
  • Basic understanding of data analysis
  • Understanding different visualisations of proteomic data

Warning

EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.
