Proteomics is the large-scale study of a specific complement of proteins, including information on the protein abundances, variations and modifications, interacting partners and functional networks. Because of the vast options and combinations of modifications and alternative splicing, the proteome is comparatively larger than the genome. This workshop provides an introduction to technologies used to perform proteomics experiments, with particular emphasis on their application to biomarker discovery. Principles and advanced methodologies will be discussed, with an emphasis on protein identification tools, methods for sample preparation, and bioinformatics technologies. Additionally, students will be exposed to the unique analytical platforms and challenges particular to biomarker discovery projects.

Topics
High-throughput mass spectrometric-based protein identification: principles of mass spectrometry; 1D and 2D liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; methods for sample preparation, including phosphopeptide enrichment and immunodepletion for clinical fluid samples; methods for peptide purification and concentration as well as mass spectrometric sample preparation and analysis; methods to identify and quantify proteins; analysis of mass spectrometry datasets, including algorithms for data searching; bioinformatics tools for protein analysis; analytical tools for the measurement of quantitative difference between clinical samples, including protein arrays, and capillary immunoassays; mass spectrometry approaches for biomarker discovery
