    The course fee includes materials and lab supplies; and, for sessions at the BTC Institute, lunch and snacks. Participants are responsible for their own lodging, transportation and dinner arrangements; a list of recommended hotels is available.

Requirements:

  • Eligibility: No prior knowledge of proteomics is assumed.  Basic computer literacy is required, as are stated interests in receiving broader training in proteomics, sample preparation, mass spectrometry instruments and data analysis.
  • Admission to the course will be on a first-come, first-served basis, and applications will be accepted until the course is fully enrolled (limit 24 students).

Content

Goals and Objectives:

During the course we will:
1. Work through protein purification and preparation techniques - In-gel digestions, in-solution digestions and sample clean-up.
2. Show you how to prepare proteins for analysis on UW-Madison's mass spectrometry instrumentation and how the instruments work.
3.Work through data analysis problems with student-generated and pre-generated data.
4. Present exciting work that's being done in the field of proteomics at UW-Madison as examples of why these techniques and technologies are important.

Technical Program:

In general the format for each day will be equally divided between lecture and  lab time. A schedule is available below.
