Introduction to Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics

Within this online course, a basic introduction of mass spectrometry will be provided and the workflow from sample preparation to data interpretation as well as example applications and how to set up a mass spectrometric experiment will be addressed.

Organizer and trainers from: Institute of Immunology, University Medical Center Mainz

Topics:

• Introduction to mass spectrometry-based proteomics
• Sample preparation
• Basics of liquid chromatography (LC)
• Basics of MS for proteomics
• Acquisition methods
• Database search - Protein Identification and Quantification
• Statistical analysis and data interpretation
• Example applications for label-free, quantitative proteomics: Tumor proteomics, interactomics, phosphoproteomics
• How to plan an experiment?

Methodology: Theoretical and practical input by the trainer by showing examples. Participants can send their questions and areas of interest to TransMed prior to the course.

Target audience: TransMed Fellows (doctoral candidates, postdocs and clinician scientists)

Maximum number of participants: unlimited

Preparation: Please send your questions and areas of interest within proteomics  to TransMed up to one week before the course.

Next workshop: 11.10.2023
