CNWY40160 Applied Proteomics

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module is designed for students who wish to understand and become critically aware of principles, practice and applications of the rapidly developing proteomic technologies. The module is delivered in 10 seminar sections ranging from the biochemical and biological basics of proteomic analysis techniques to applications in biological and clinical research. The final seminars focus on systems biology; a research direction extensively utilising the technical advance in proteomic research.

Learning Outcomes:

After the course the students should be familiar with the basic concepts of mass spectrometry based protein characterisations; its origins and current development. They should be aware how to prepare a sample for proteomic characterisation and what they can expect from the analysis. They should know the significance and the limitations of mass spectrometry based protein identifications and quantifications. The scientific session should have given the students a direct view to applications of proteomic techniques as they are done at the UCD. Discussions with the speakers should have familiarised them with experimental conditions they should be aware of when doing a proteomic investigation. The exposure to clinical research helps them to understand the specific requirements of this environment. Ultimately, the students should be familiar with systems biology as a research direction and mass spectrometry based protein characterisation and other protein quantification techniques figure into this research.
