The training was conducted by Radoslaw Sobota, Ph.D., and his research team, comprised of 5-days of mass spectrometry lectures and demos on sample preparation and data processing. The PGC-PPMF staff: Robert Jervine Ortega, Owen Tito Mallapre, and Abigail Ruth Velasquez were able to tour the IMCB laboratories and attended lectures on the following topics:

  • Introduction to Mass Spectrometry Proteomics
  • Sample Preparation for Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics
  • Sample-specific Considerations for Proteomics
  • Data Processing using Proteome Discoverer
  • Skyline Demo and Online Resources
