Description

The aim of the course is to present current trends in proteomics and to demonstrate the principles and capabilities of proteomic strategies to answer various research questions. Applications span basic research, clinical proteomics, biomarker discovery, microbiology, and plant biology.

The course will cover theory of biological mass spectrometry (MS) and LC-MS/MS instrumentations, presenting the commonly used MS-based proteomic workflows from study design and sample preparation to data analysis and bioinformatics. Invited speakers will highlight applications in proteomics and related fields.

Teaching will be performed through lectures, instrument demonstrations, laboratory exercises and literature workshops. During the course, students will design and present a proteomics study based on their own research, receiving expert feedback to refine and strengthen their study design.
