Proteomics and Metabolomics Workshop, October 11 & 18, 2023.
Attendees gathered for a lecture and learn workshop. One day for Metabolomics and another for Proteomics.
Special Topics in Life Sciences: LIFE 491/891, January 18 - March 31, 2022.
Students met each Tuesday and Thursday morning for eleven weeks to discover the various research tools provided by the numerous UNL Core Facilities within the Center for Biotechnology. In addition to the Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility, presentations were offered on Single Cell Genomics, Bioinformatics, Flow Cytometry, Microscopy, and Plant Phenotyping. Students that successfully completed the course were provided a $500 voucher to use at any of the UNL Core Facilities.
Nebraska Center for Biotechnology - Summer Proteomics Workshop, July 15-16, 2019.
Participants gathered to experience the full proteomics analysis pathway from sample preparation and sample running to data analysis and interpreting a final report. They were given steps for appropriate preparation techniques and were shown how to best interpret reports and results. There were also hands on opportunities for those who were interested.
Metabolomics Workshop, May 9, 2017.
In this day long event co-sponsored by the Center for Biotechnology and Waters Corporation, attendees heard mini-symposium presentations by four thought leaders in the metabolomics field: Dr. Jessica Prenni, Dr. Gary Patti, Dr. Xianlin Han and Dr. Ernesto Nakayasu. This was followed by an afternoon workshop with Dr. Suraj Dhungana of Waters, multiple roundtable discussions and an optional tour of the Proteomics and Metabolomics Facility.
Waters seminar : Lunch and Learn, Method Development for (U)HPLC, July 26, 2016.
Participants gathered for lunch with Marguerite Arechederra and Larry Meeker, both of Waters Corporation. First Marguerite discussed appropriate column selection for various methods, from small molecules to intact proteins. Then Larry gave a case study presentation walking participants through a strategic approach to chromatography method development.
Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics Workshop, May 9-10, 2016.
A total of 87 scientists attended the talks session in the morning of day 1, which included four experts in proteomics from various scientific fields: Michael Washburn (Stowers Institute), Hanno Steen (Harvard Medical School), Mary Lipton (PNNL) and Dmitri Nusinow (Danforth Center). Forty-two scientists, including faculty and undergraduate students registered and attended the two-day hands-on session.
