THIS COURSE HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Organised by the EuPA Education Committee, Proteored-ISCIII and the Spanish Proteomics Society, from 4 to 8 Novembre 2013 the basic course Chromatography for Proteomics will be held in Madrid at the National Centre for Biotechnology-CSIC and the Faculty of Pharmacy-UCM.

In accordance with the HUPO/EuPA guidelines, the course aim to

• Provide a theoretical basis for understanding chromatographic separations
• Illustrate how the techniques are being applied in modern proteomics studies
• Help students to design their own experiments
• Provide practical instruction in laboratory techniques
• Provide extensive tutorial/discussion sessions

Course Description:

There are two main separation methods used in modern proteomics, electrophoresis and chromatography. The course is part of a series designed to give researchers a thorough basis to understand the new trends in protein expression analysis and to enable scientists entering the field to evaluate how useful these new techniques are to their own research and how to apply them effectively.

Theoretical Lectures:

• Basic liquid chromatography terms and theory
• Methods for separating protein and peptide mixtures
• Designing multi-dimensional separations
• Mass Spectrometry and database searching

Practical Classes:

• Sample preparation and extraction
• Evaluating and optimising separations
• Making nanocolumns, plumbing and HPLC troubleshooting
