The conference will host the 8th AuPA (Austrian Proteomic Association) Proteome Research Symposium, 6th Czech Proteomic Conference and 4th Annual Meeting of the Hungarian Proteomic Society – the conference is jointly organized within the CEEPC framework. The conference is taking place back-to-back with the symposium of International Metabolomics Austria (IMA) from 2nd – 3rd September 2010 at the same location supporting the future interaction between both fields. Furthermore both symposia are promoted by the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry (ASAC). The two symposia cover all aspects of proteomics, glycomics, lipidomics and metabolomics: applications, instrumentation, bioinformatics, fundamentals and strategies.Click here for more information (http://www.cta.tuwien.ac.at/ceepc-ima/) Newsflashes - Conference Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:25:28 +0100 http://www.eupa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=384&Itemid=119 A new issue of Journal of Proteomics is now available (see table of content (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/issue/43611-2010-999269990-2212818)). Newsflashes - Journal of Proteomics Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:00:00 +0100 http://www.eupa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=361&Itemid=63 This course will be held in Oeiras, PT next September 14, 2010. Course description: This course is aimed at teaching you five aspects of proteomics data: the origins of your data, including instrumentation and methodologies; the outlined workings and idiosyncrasies of search engines and peptide identification strategies; the importance of post-validation, either through automated or semi-automated algorithms as well as the issue with protein inference; the various pitfalls and challenges of analyzing quantitative proteomics data; and the downstream functional analysis of your proteomics results. All topics will be illustrated through extensive hands-on practicals, employing freely available software that you can take home to your lab afterwards. Target audience: Scientists, researchers, students aiming at bridging the gap between Proteomics experimental results and integrated data resources Click here for more information (http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/PDA10/) Newsflashes - Courses Sun, 01 Aug 2010 11:13:33 +0100 http://www.eupa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=353&Itemid=63 First announcement of the 1st International Proteomics Conference on Crete-IPCC01 to be held in Heraklion-Crete (Greece) next October 7-8, 2010. The conference is aimed at Researchers, post-doctoral fellows and senior PhD students as well as the greater scientific community who have an interest/need and some experience in studying proteins using mass spectrometry. Participants should have some basic exposure to mass spectrometry techniques, along with a basic understanding of protein chemistry and biochemistry. It is organized as part of the dissemination activities of the Proteomics Facility at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (ProFI) and is funded mainly by the FP7 programme of the European Union (GA‐229823).

The practical course will include introduction to mass spectrometry and quantitative proteomics and then focus on two most popular techniques in the field - SILAC (stable isotope labeled amino acids in cell culture) and iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation, Applied Biosystems). Topics covered will include experiment design, sample preparation, system setup and evaluation, sample analysis and data analysis. All MS analysis will be performed on an LTQ Orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer (Thermo Electron), equipped with a nano-LC (Agilent 1200), nano-spray source and self-packed emitters (Proxeon). In addition, different protein and peptide fractionation techniques will be covered (isoelectric focusing, gel electrophoresis etc). This course is targeted for PhD students and post-docs from European Union. The course is free of charge. Organizers cover: - course materials - accommodation in Tartu in Hotel Dorpat, August 29 - September 4, 2010 - travel expenses (up to 400 EUR per person, larger expenses have to be agreed by the organizers) - meals (ex. dinner) - social events NB!
