Mass Spectrometry ‘101’ Tutorial Series

Time: 12.30pm - 3.30pm    Location: Heritage 2, Mantra Lorne    Lunch: Provided

• Dr Nicholas Williamson (Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility, Bio21 Institute, The University of Melbourne)

This pre-conference lecture aims to provide a basic working knowledge of mass spectrometry, proteomics and simple proteomic bioinformatics. It is deliberately aimed at novice users with little or no prior experience in the field. Explanations are kept as simple as possible. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the broad concepts that will be assumed knowledge during the conference.

Mass Spectrometry ‘202’ Tutorial Series

Time: 12.30pm - 3.30pm    Location: Heritage 3, Mantra Lorne    Lunch: Provided

• Prof Gavin E Reid (School of Chemistry, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Bio21 Institute, The University of Melbourne)

This pre-conference lecture will provide a more advanced understanding of the underlying principles of mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry methods applied to proteome analysis, with an emphasis on the characterisation of PTM’s and quantitation. It is aimed at those people who have previously taken part in the Mass Spectrometry ‘101’ Tutorial Series (or its equivalent), or users with some prior experience of the field.
