Proteomics and Metabolomics Workshop
October 11 & 18, 2023
Registration is now closed
$50.00 per person, per session. Space is limited to 15 participants per day.
October 11 - Metabolomics
This one-day Metabolomics Workshop is intended to introduce students and faculty to targeted and untargeted metabolomics, a rapidly growing technology in clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, food science, agriculture and environmental sciences; and broaden participants’ understanding of the data processing and insight differences between untargeted and targeted assays.
The workshop will include:
- Hands-on experience with sample preparation.
- Method optimization for targeted assay.
- Interactive data analysis session.
Limited to 15 attendees.
3 DEMOS sessions (1h each*)
- Metabolite extraction (liquid-liquid extraction, tissue lyzer)
- Amino acid derivatization and UPLC (AccQ-Tag derivatization, UPLC set up)
- QTRAP direct infusion (standard instrument optimization – Low resolution, targeted metabolomics)
*Groups of 5 will be rotating through the sessions throughout the day
October 18 - Proteomics
This one-day Proteomics Workshop is intended to educate students and faculty about some of the technologies and methodologies in the field of mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Our hands-on workshop will cover both practical and theoretical aspects of performing protein identification using a bottom-up approach. We will discuss sample preparation to liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry methods, through laboratory session and interactive data analysis session.
Limited to 15 attendees.
3 DEMOS sessions (1h each*)
- SP3 Protein cleanup (contaminant removal, one-pot sample digestion)
- Peptides zip tipping/QE direct infusion (mass spectrometry data acquisition of peptides)
- LC-MS/MS on the Eclipse (high resolution mass spectrometry – peptides separation)
*Groups of 5 will be rotating through the sessions throughout the day
