Proteomics Short Course 2023

This introductory Hands on proteome analysis workshop is designed to expose participants to fundamental technology platforms and current methodologies in the field of mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The week will include a combination of equal parts hands-on laboratory work, lectures and interactive data analysis int he computer lab.

This course is imited to 35 participants

 

Where is the workshop? … It will be held in Davis and will run from 8:00am to 5:00pm on the dates indicated. The specific location will be provided at a later date.

Pictures and schedule from previous years course will give you a good idea of this years course.

Survey Topics covered include:

• Fundamentals of mass spectrometry and proteomics

• Bottom-up quantitative and non-quantitative nano-electrospray proteomics tandem mass spectrometry (nESI-LC/MSMS)

• Hands on Sample preparation and processing

• Nano-scale HPLC & peptide-spectrum matching using open-source software

• Introduction to quantitative proteomics using data independent analysis (DIA)

• Data analysis, using free and comercial. programs such as Fragpipe, DIA-NN  and Spectronaut. 

 

Lectures will be presented by the Proteomics Core staff as well as leading regional proteomics experts. Past lecturers included scientists from UC Davis, UCSF, Stanford, Thermo Scientific and the Buck Institute (lectures subject to change). This is an intensive, practical course that is meant to give the participant enough background to allow them to take the course material and build upon and apply it to their own individual projects.

Specific course topics may change due to sample and mass spectrometer availability.

Who should attend? … Prior course participants have included faculty, post-docs, grad students, staff, and industry researchers.

What are the prerequisites? … There are no prerequisites other than familiarity with general biological concepts and an enthusiasm for learning about proteomics. Laboratory experience working with proteins and prior experience with data analysis is usually helpful.

What do I need to bring? … This data analysis portion of the workshop will be held in a computer room on the UC Davis campus, which has desktop computers running Microsoft Windows OS.  You may bring your own laptop to use.  However, some of the proteomic-specific software only runs on Windows.

Can I bring my own samples? … We will provide samples for the wet lab portion of the workshop.  However, if you have your own samples you want to work with, please contact us to discuss their suitability.

Can I bring my own data? … We will be generating the data ourslves duing the first half of the course. There will be time, however, to discuss your own datasets and how you might work with them outside of the workshop.

How much does it cost? … For the full course (lecture/lab/data analysis), the registration fee is $2000 for everyone this year. We have limited funding to subsidise UC Davis Grad Students so please inquire. 

General registration is “first-come, first-served”, so sign up as soon as possible to ensure your place in the workshop. We accept credit cards, as well as UC Davis recharge accounts, for payment.  Registration fees include light breakfast, lunch, and snacks, but do not include dinner, lodging or parking fees.
