Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Course

Course Description

Proteomics aims to investigate the entire content of proteins present in cells, tissues, body fluids, whole organisms, or in any type of biological sample. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is currently the most comprehensive approach for quantitative profiling of proteins, their interactions and spatial localizations, and for the identification of protein modifications.

The objective of this course is to introduce the field of proteomics, focusing on fundamental concepts in sample preparation, peptide and protein identification, and quantification. These concepts are reinforced through the practical training using state-of-the-art mass spectrometers and open-source software for data analysis.

The course is designed to provide the participants with the knowledge necessary to access the resources and infrastructure of the proteomics unit at the Functional Genomics Center Zurich.
