Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the dates for its 2008 European Proteomics Seminar series.
The series, which takes place throughout October and November, has become an established venue for scientific and technological discussion and the sharing of practical tips.
The theme of the 2008 seminar series is protein quantitation.
The seminars will provide attendees with an opportunity to get firsthand information about protein quantitation methods such as SILAC, the use of tandem mass tagging (TMT) labels for relative quantitation of proteins with the Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap, and targeted peptide quantitation applied to biomarker verification.
Each seminar brings together researchers in the fields of proteomics and metabolomics who will share their results and insights.
A highlight of the discussions is electron transfer dissociation (ETD), a technique broadly applicable to proteomics and now available on LTQ Orbitrap systems.
Approaches in the context of systems biology, functional proteomics, phosphopeptide and other PTM analysis, signaling networks and top-down intact protein analyses add to the breadth of topics covered by the seminars.
In addition, Thermo Fisher's application scientists will cover practical issues related to sample preparation, method setup and data processing.
