Translational Discovery Omics II - Proteomics
Course content
The aim of the course is to provide the participants with:
i) an overview of the major high-end quantitative proteomics
technologies with focus on mass spectrometry; ii) an overview
of key biological applications that quantitative proteomics screens
can be applied in, including proteome quantitation,
post-translational modification (PTM) analysis and functional
protein interaction networks iii) introduction to clinical
sample handling for proteome analysis and processing of proteomics
data at different levels.
The main themes covered in the course include:
- Mass spectrometry technologies and principles for protein sequencing.
- Introduction to proteomics and applications in biology with examples from industry and academia
- Best practice for clinical sample handling, plasma proteomics hands-on workflow and data analysis
BRIDGE - Translational Excellence Programme
Upon completing the course, participants should be able to:
Knowledge
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of different mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflows, experimental design and methods including hands-on experience with plasma proteomics.
- Gain a general understanding of the main statistical concepts required for proteomics.
- Understand the role of protein signaling pathways and functional protein interaction networks in health and disease.
Skills and Competences
- Ablility to perform mass spectrometry-based proteome analysis of biological and clinical samples.
- Process raw mass spectrometry data and obtain peptide and protein identification from proteome analysis using different software tools (MaxQuant, Spectronaut).
- Use data analysis and visualization programs such as Perseus, StringApp, and Cytoscape including ability to integrate proteomics data with curated datasets such as signaling pathways and protein-protein interactions.
- Understand the important aspects of translational omics and be able to discuss and communicate these to other scientists, clinicians, and the public.
- Critically evaluate the results and interpretation of downstream data analysis to answer biological questions and hypotheses.
The course is organized as a mixture of lectures and scientific seminars by invited speakers including technical lectures about state-of-the-art proteomics technologies used to study patient samples, cellular signaling pathways, functional protein interaction networks and global proteome changes. In addition, the course will include group work, case studies/journal clubs, demonstrations, and practical exercises provided and supervised by the specialists in the field.
Course literature is published on Absalon.
Participants must meet the admission criteria in BRIDGE - Translational Excellence Programme.
The BRIDGE – Translational Excellence Programme offers a few select graduated PhDs a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in translational medicine. The courses are only available to the fellows enrolled in the programme. Fellows are automatically enrolled in the courses upon appointment in the programme.
