Proteomics

Room B13 (Hall B1)14:00

This Tuesday session will be chaired by Dr Juan Pablo Albar, Proteomics Facility, Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia (CSIC), Madrid, Spain.

Dr Liam McDonnell, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands will start the afternoon session by discussing tissue imaging by mass spectrometry. He will explain how by using essentially the same technique but different sample preparation strategies metabolites, lipids, peptides and proteins can be analysed and how spatially correlated analysis, imaging MS, enables the distributions of these biomolecular ions to be simultaneously measured in tissues.

Dr Ulrich Eigner from Labor Limbach, Department of Microbiology, Heidelberg, Germany will follow with a presentation titled “Microbial Identification with MALDI-TOF”. Next up is Ruth Hüttenhain from the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland who will discuss targeted proteomics for the verification of novel plasma-based biomarkers.

After a short break, Dr Claire E. Eyers from the Michael Barber Centre for Mass Spectrometry, School of Chemistry, University of Manchester, UK will present “Scraping the Barrel: Towards Absolute Quantification of the Complete y Yeast Proteome”. She will be followed by Manuel Fuentes from the Cancer Research Center, Department of Medicine. University of Salamanca-CSIC. Salamanca, Spain who will present “Multiplexed Protein Expression and Purification Platform/Protein Microarrays”.

The day will finish with Dr Juan Pablo Ablar (the chair for this session) who will be talking about proteomics data sharing and reporting/ proteomics standardization.
