Short course/CPD
Bioinformatics for Proteomic Mass Spectrometry
Free for BBSRC funded Researchers!
Course date: Please enquire
Course overview
Thanks to increasingly advanced proteomic mass spectrometry, today's bioscientists have an unprecedented capability to monitor the biomolecular processes occurring in living organisms. This opens up new opportunities in areas as diverse as biomarker discovery, systems biology, drug discovery and plant science. However, interpretation of the large datasets acquired can be challenging. This short course provides an invaluable introduction to computational approaches for those needing to extract information from large proteomic data sets for the first time, or those seeking to update or improve their skills.

Course description
Aim
To introduce proteomics practioners to the techniques used to analyse proteomic mass spectrometry data.
Who should attend?
This course in intended for researchers from academia or industry who are in possession of, or are expecting to acquire, proteomic mass spectrometry data. The course is supported by BBSRC.
Focus
The course concentrates particularly on:
- Peptide identification tools, primarily based on database searching
- reliable analysis of high throughput proteomic data
- storage and reporting of proteomic data using PSI standards
- strategies for analysing quantitative proteomic data.
Outcomes
All delegates will leave with an awareness of the proteomic data analysis tools that are currently available and an appreciation of how to use these tools in their science.
Format
The course is delivered as a three-day residential workshop. Time is split equally between interactive lectures and computer-based, hands-on practical sessions. Software tools covered include Mascot, OMSSA, X!Tandem, and the PRIDE database. The majority of the course is delivered by members of Cranfield’s bioinformatics group, which has an international reputation in proteomic bioinformatics.
Quotes from past delegates
- Good for getting to grips with what's out there.
- Very comfortable environment and approachable teaching team.
- Really enjoyed the course and learnt a huge amount.
