FRIDAY 3 FEBRUARY 2017

SCIEX Breakfast Workshop:

SWATH™ for Beginners

Time: 7.15am - 8.45am    Location: Heritage Ballroom, Mantra Lorne    Breakfast: from 7.00am

• Dr James Broadbent (Field Applications Specialist, SCIEX ANZ)
• Katie Glenn (Field Applications Specialist, SCIEX ANZ)
• Madeleine Otway (PhD Candidate, Children’s Medical Research Institute)

Since its release in 2012, SWATH™ has moved beyond being just a novel acquisition technique to being an indispensable tool in systems biology research, demonstrating particular advantages for the analysis of medium-to-large sample cohorts, and for laboratories focused on the in-depth proteomics study of a small number of organisms or systems. In this workshop, SCIEX ANZ Field Applications Specialists Dr James Broadbent and Katie Glenn, along with Madeline Otway (PhD Candidate, Children’s Medical Research Institute), will recap the basics of SWATH™, with tips and tricks on all aspects of the journey from samples to knowledge, including; study design, ensuring reproducible sample preparation, best-practice liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method settings for SWATH™ Acquisition & open-source and commercial software options for processing of SWATH™ data.

SCIEX Afternoon Workshop:

Towards Precision Medicine; the SCIEX Clinical Proteomics Workshop

Time: 2.45pm - 4.45pm    Location: Heritage Ballroom, Mantra Lorne                                                                                

• Prof Jennifer van Eyk (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, USA)
• Dr Christie Hunter (Director of Global Technical Marketing, SCIEX USA)
• Dr James Broadbent (Field Applications Specialist, SCIEX ANZ)

What if we could deliver the right treatment at the right time, to the right person to better, more effectively treat complex disease? This is the promise of precision medicine, to be able to approach complex disease treatment and prevention by taking into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. Many of today’s medical treatments have been designed for the masses while the promise of precision medicine is to build treatments that are constructed around specific disease and individual characteristics. As the promise of precision medicine continues to evolve, researchers will need powerful tools to perform the Omics research that creates the scientific foundation of precision medicine. SCIEX industrialized proteomics solutions, using SWATH® Acquisition-based workflows and powered by the cloud with the OneOmics™ Project, will enable large-scale proteome studies on a scale unachievable by other methods.

The SCIEX Clinical Proteomics workshop features a special presentation from Professor Jennifer van Eyk (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, CA, USA), entitled “Industrialization. creating proteomic scalability and impacting science” and updates from Dr Christie Hunter (Director of Global Technical Marketing, SCIEX USA) and Dr James Broadbent (Field Application Specialist, SCIEX ANZ) on the latest developments in SCIEX mass spectrometry and related technologies that bring us closer to the era of precision medicine.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Afternoon Workshop:

Building Proteome Tools based on a complete synthetic human proteome

Time: 2.45pm - 4.45pm     Location: Heritage 2, Mantra Lorne                        

• Prof Bernhard Kuster (Chair of proteomics and bioanalytics, Technical University of Munich (TUM) School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan)

Join us at our Lorne Proteomics Friday afternoon workshop with food and drinks provided to hear Prof Bernhard Kuster speak on his latest major project.

The Proteome Tools project aims to derive molecular and digital tools from the human proteome to facilitate biomedical and life science research. In this presentation, the generation and multimodal LC-MS/MS analysis of >330,000 synthetic tryptic peptides representing essentially all canonical human gene products will be described and examples for the use of this data will be presented. The resource will be extended to more than one million peptides within two years and all data will be made available to the public in Proteomics DB and proteomeXchange.
