Gel-based Proteomics: a practical course
The course includes theoretical and practical sessions on gel-based proteomics.
It is designed to give researchers a thorough basis to understand the new trends in protein expression analysis by means of gel-based proteomics, and to enable young scientists to evaluate how useful these techniques are to their own research and how to apply them effectively.
This year, the Course will be held at Porto Conte Ricerche from 7th to 11th July 2014. During the week, theoretical lessons will illustrate the available techniques and discuss each of the steps in the 2D Electrophoresis process, including sample preparation, protein quantification and labelling for DIGE, gel casting and running, protein visualization, and image acquisition and analysis, together with a background on mass spectrometry for protein identification. Hands-on sessions will enable the attendants to receive a practical feeling of the whole procedure, and to gain a direct experience of the most important points to consider when carrying out a gel-based proteomics experiment.
