Location:

Ghent - Bio-Accelerator Meeting Center

Duration:

Mo 26/08/2024  -  Fr 30/08/2024

General context

Many researchers use proteomics as a research tool. BePA (Belgian Proteomics Association) is organizing workshops for these users in collaboration with VIB. A broad selection of proteomics experts will go through the entire workflow from sample preparation, over data acquisition to data analysis. At the end of the course, attendees will better understand the dos and don’ts in proteomics and be able to design their own experiment in order to find an answer to their protein-related questions. 

This summer school is organized with the support of VIB, the Doctoral School of Ghent University and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

! Cancellations must be done before July 1st. Later cancellations will be subject to a cancellation fee of €50 !

Objectives

The summer school will show researchers what the capabilities of proteomics are. By focusing on the different steps of a robust experimental design, they will learn the shortest route to answer their biological questions on proteins.
