Microbial Proteomics

The pre-course "Microbial Proteomics" will be held at Porto conte Ricerche, Alghero (Italy) from June 13th to 14th, 2017.

Background. Numerous progresses have recently been made in the proteomic analysis of single microbial isolates, enabling the detailed characterization of the different proteomes expressed by a bacterial genome in various conditions. In parallel, this has also opened the invaluable possibility of gathering information on all the microbial proteomes expressed by a microbial community: the metaproteome. 

Aims. This “Microbial Proteomics” course is intended for graduate students and young researchers who wish to improve their analytical capabilities in the field of microbiology by implementing proteomic technologies in their study areas, but also to those that already have experience in proteomics but would like to gain a better understanding of the practical aspects and analytical issues involved in the application of proteomic technologies to microorganisms and microbial systems.

The pre-corse is expected to enable young graduate students a more profitable participation to the associate "2nd International Metaproteomics Symposium" that will be held from June 14th to 16th, 2017.
