Cellular structure and function depend in large part on proteins that are altered in disease. Proteomics plays a vital role in biomedical research in the post-genomic era. With technological developments in mass spectrometry and computational and bioinformatics models, proteomics has evolved rapidly and can shed light on complex biomedical problems. A wide range of applications have been developed from protein expression profiling to the analysis of protein-protein interactions and post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation.
This course will focus on methodology, data analysis and highlight a range of applications in basic and cutting-edge cancer research including biomarker/target discovery and precision oncology.
After following this course you will have:
Course format
Week 1: lectures by experts, interactive sessions and self-study.
Week 2: laboratory part with sample preparation, MS demo, data analysis workshop.
The course can be taken as a theory-only course (lectures plus bioinformatics workshop; 1,5 credits) or complete course (3 credits). For the theory part, we can accommodate a ~30 students but for the lab part, the maximum number of participants is 12 (first come first serve).
How to sign up
Send an email to Connie Jimenez (c.jimenez@amsterdamumc.nl) before January 22, but it is advised to sign up earlier, especially if you also want to do the lab part.
