WORKSHOP 1: Post-genomic era of molecular biology: Proteomics era I


    The aim of the first of two workshops in post-genomic technologies organized by ERA Chair team is to introduce the omics technologies and their application in the field of veterinary medicine. It will contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and know-how through the hosting of prominent invited international lecturers and providing hands-on experimental work. Workshop will cover the introductory proteomics and various sample preparation workflows of biological fluids, blood cells and cell cultures, emphasizing sample collection, cell disruption, DNA, RNA and protein extraction/enrichment techniques as well as protein separation techniques. The workshop is intended for PhD students, postdoctoral and other researchers interested in the field of genomics, proteomics and respective technology.

The workshop will cover the following general topics:

1.Sample preparation for omics analyses (DNA, RNA, proteins)

2.Enrichment / Depletion for proteomics analyses

3.Prefractionation / Chromatography / Gel filtration

4.Cell culture for protein production

5.Two-dimensional electrophoresis

    The workshop will be organized in two parts: the first part will be lectures (30-45 minutes) and the second part will be hands-on in small groups (limited number of participants will be selected for hands-on; there is no limit for theoretical part). All participants should register through on-line registration form. The official language of the workshop is English.
