BMS6007: Mass spectrometry-based proteomics and metabolomics course

15-19 January 2024

Course summary

We are very pleased to announce that registration for the 9^th annual Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics & Metabolomics Course is now open. 

This course is designed to provide an introduction to mass spectrometry and how it may be applied to quantitatively characterise biomolecules such as proteins and metabolites. The purpose of the course is to provide attendees with an insight into the capabilities of mass spectrometry and to explore how it may be useful for their research projects.

It will take place over five morning sessions, the content of which is described in the programme. This course is a Doctoral Development Programme module (BMS6007), but staff are very welcome (and encouraged!) to attend. Sessions will be held in person (Hicks Lecture Theatre 3) from Monday 15^th to Friday 19^th of January 2024.

Any queries should be sent to the course director, Dr Mark Collins (mark.collins@sheffield.ac.uk).

Topics will include the following

• Introduction to Mass Spectrometry
• Quantitative proteomics
• Protein-protein interactions
• Post-translational modifications
• Targeted & Non-targeted Metabolomics
• Imaging Mass Spectrometry
• Tour of the Faculty of Science Spectrometry Centre facilities
