In this short course, we will be covering the basic principles, the experimental design, and data analysis platforms for protein mass spectrometry experiments. Highlights of several upstream biochemical approaches will be discussed.  An overview of peptide fractionation by liquid chromatography will be discussed. We will spend time discussing the inner workings of ion trap mass spectrometers, including principles of ion detection and fragmentation. Lastly, I will present some basic guidelines for data analysis and interpretation.  

This Proteomics Workshop, led by Dr. Ben Major, is specifically geared towards trainees on the Integrated Training In Cancer Model Systems training program, please do not register if you are not a trainee on this program.
