ProteoCure training school on "Basics and perspectives of mass spectrometry-based proteomics" -in memorium of Prof. Dr. Ulrich auf dem Keller 1974-2023-

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is widely used in many research projects, such as in the context of PROTEOCURE, with its focus on protein processing. Despite its common usage, many students may find themselves limited by a surface-level understanding of this advanced methodology. Our training class is meticulously designed to bridge this knowledge gap, ensuring participants not only grasp the fundamental concepts but are also abreast with the latest advancements in the domain.

The primary objective of the training is to cultivate a holistic understanding of a proteomic experiment. Beginning with the essentials of experimental design, the course will guide participants through the intricacies of sample preparation, transitioning to the technicalities of measurement. Beyond this, a significant emphasis will be on data analysis — the backbone of any mass spectrometry-based proteomic experiment. With the deluge of data these experiments generate, mastering the subtleties of data interpretation, and understanding the underpinnings of biostatistics is paramount. We aim to make this process intuitive and comprehensive.

Key applications such as binding partner identification, global proteome profiling, and pinpointing post-translational modifications will be covered in detail. Recognizing the importance of practical experience, hands-on sessions have been embedded throughout the course. Participants will be guided through actual sample preparation and measurement procedures, ensuring they gain practical insights that complement theoretical knowledge. The training will also introduce attendees to R, a powerful tool for data handling, enabling them to navigate and analyze large datasets efficiently. To further personalize the learning experience, dedicated sessions are incorporated where students can conceptualize and design proteomic experiments tailored to their specific research topics. Such endeavors will not only sharpen their experimental design skills but also foster an environment of collaborative learning and peer feedback.

In addition to the hands-on sessions, a series of lectures will delve into the foundations of mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Participants will be introduced to both the time-tested methodologies and some of the latest innovations that are reshaping the landscape of proteomics. These lectures, delivered by experts in the field, aim to give participants a panoramic view of where mass spectrometry-based proteomics stands today and the trajectory it’s poised to take in the coming years.

In conclusion, this training school is more than just a series of lectures and sessions; it’s an immersive experience aimed at nurturing proficient proteomics researchers, equipped with both foundational knowledge and cutting-edge insights.
