On August 29, 2024, the Protein, Proteomics, and Metabolomics Facility (PPMF) in collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific and Medical Test Systems, Inc., hosted a hands-on workshop on mass spectrometry proteomics sample preparation for multiplex analysis with resource speaker Dr. Bhavin Patel.
The workshop, attended by researchers from different universities, presented end-to-end MS-based proteomics workflows for various applications and consisted of the following lectures and hands-on sessions:
- Mass spectrometry: Considerations for quantitative proteomics workflows
- (1) Protein extraction and quantification; (2) Reduction, alkylation, and digestion
- Peptide cleanup, TMT labeling, and quantitation
- Sample running in mass spectrometer and analysis of results
About the speaker: Bhavin Patel, MD, MS
