PROTEOMIC SCHOOL
CNR-ISPA c/o Bioindustry Park, Colleretto Giacosa (TO)

The school will provide theoretical and practical basis on techniques for protein separations, analysis and identification.

PROTEOMICS
March 27-30 2006
Beginning: 27 March 9.00 am / Conclusion: 30 March 6.00 pm

Four-days course on the principles of protein separation and fractionation, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics for proteomics. The goal of the school is to teach fundamental principles and novel techniques in order to let the non-expert gain relevant knowledge and expertees. Moreover, participants will be able to interpret the results of mass spectrometry analysis.Applicative examples of proteome studies on microrganisms, vegetal and animal cells, and biological fluids will be carried out.More advanced users will gain additional insight into experimental planning and analytical issues as well as in available techniques.

Proteomics is acknoledged by the Italian Ministry of Health. ECM credits will be given to Italian graduates working in appropriate sectors and filling relative ECM documents as follows:
21 ECM for degrees in Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Farmacy (n. 146-231096).
At the moment we are awaiting the number of ECM credits that will be given to Veterinary (146-231097) and to Lab Technicians (n.146-231098). For updates please visit:  http://ecm.sanita.it
