The VIB Proteomics Core offers contemporary mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics services to VIB scientists. During this course we provide lectures on the basic principles and theory behind MS-based proteomics.

The goal is to provide participants with insight on how to design their experiments and how to select the right sample preparation procedure and labeling strategy.

During the hands-on lab sessions, participants will be trained in sample preparation including protein extraction, digestion and peptide clean-up for LC-MS/MS analysis.

We also include a data analysis demonstration session, covering critical steps in proteomics data analysis including protein identification, quantification, statistical analysis and data visualization.
