The organization will offer a free registration to the first two FCUL students selected based on the CV and motivation letter.

The course will give an overview of concepts, methods and technologies used in Clinical Proteomics, with special focus in bioinformatic tools in protein/peptide qualitative and quantitative analysis, data mining and knowledge discovery from high resolution mass spectrometric data. Many available public sources of bioinformatics tools will be provided and discussed. In the practical part (hands-on training), participants will be able to go from their own raw mass spectrometry data, to analyse and integrate it into a biological context using the freely web available PathernLab for Proteomics 4.0 (Carvalho PC et al, Nat Protoc. 2016).  

The final aim is to provide attendees with the practical bioinformatics knowledge they need to go back to the lab and process their own data when collected.

Participants will be invited to send contributions (as critical users) to the special issue  in “Bioinformatics Tutorials” - Journal of Proteomics-Elsevier (in preparation).
