Social Program

Delivered by the Institute for Systems Biology (Seattle, USA)
& the Australian Proteomics Computational Facility (Melbourne, Australia)
14-17th September 2010

A HUPO2010 Satellite Workshop hosted by the NSW Systems Biology Initiative @ the University of New South Wales

The Seattle Proteome Center (SPC) at the Institute for Systems Biology and the Australian Proteomics Computational Facility (APCF) is pleased to offer a four-day intensive course in proteomic informatics. This will focus on the use of our open-source software tools for the analysis, validation, storage and interpretation of data from large-scale quantitative proteomics experiments and methods (CORRA), multi-dimensional chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. Through daily lectures and tutorials, course participants should become proficient in the use of these tools, including the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP). More information on the TPP, including software downloads can be found here. There will also be instruction on using SPC resources such as PeptideAtlas, MRMAtlas, and related tools for design of targeted proteomics workflows via selected reaction monitoring (SRM) such as TIQAM, ATAQS and other software packages. Tutorials will also be given on accessing the APCF to utilize many of these software platforms in Australia. An outline of the schedule can be found here.

Presenters include: Alexey Nesvizhskii (U. Michigan); Eric Deutsch (ISB); Henry Lam (U. Hong Kong); Mi-Youn Brusniak (ISB); Simon Michnowicz (APCF); and Luis Mendoza (ISB).

Eligibility: Current graduate-student or postdoctoral status. Some prior knowledge of biology is required as is an understanding of the operation of tandem mass spectrometers, the basic structure and interpretation of peptide MS/MS spectra and proficiency in the use of computers. People with extensive experience in computational sciences but not in biology are especially urged to apply as are those with extensive biological but little computational expertise.. A commitment to attend the entire course is also required.

Cost: The cost for student registrants is $165 (inc. GST), academic registrants is $275 (inc. GST) and commercial employees can register for $550 (inc. GST). For more information please contact Simone Li, at UNSW.

Registration: All places for the course have been filled. Please email Simone Li if you would like to be placed on the reserve list.

Venue: The course will be delivered in a dedicated computer lab at the UNSW. Lunch and morning tea provided. UNSW is in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney about 20 minutes from Sydney CBD. It is next to the beautiful Coogee Beach. Limited accommodation is available on-campus but there is an extensive choice of affordable accommodation including seaside apartments available nearby.
