Introduction to Proteomics
Day and Time: Mon-Thur 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Location: MEZ 4.136
Description: This four-day course will focus on the fundamental knowledge and skillsets needed to utilize mass spectrometry-based proteomics for biological research. We will cover key concepts of experimental design, instrumentation, and data processing. Participants will learn how to use a standard data analysis pipeline to generate peptide and protein identifications and interpret the biological significance of results. Topics will include quantitative proteomics and post-translational modifications. The goal of this course is to provide non-experts with the foundational knowledge necessary to access the power of proteomics for their own research interests.
Instructor: Dr. Daniel Boutz, Research Associate
Instructor Bio: Daniel Boutz received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles. As a post-doctoral researcher and now Research Associate with Edward Marcotte at the Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology at UT Austin, he specializes in the use of mass spectrometry-based proteomics for systems-level studies of cellular biology and immunology.
