GENE 148 Biological Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics

Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a cornerstone technology for scientists engaged in a wide array of modern biomedical research, from addressing hypotheses in cell biology and biochemistry to the broadscale analysis of proteins and proteomes. Proteomics itself, driven largely by the qualitative and quantitative power of mass spectrometry, represents an exciting new field of research with great potential in answering basic and translational questions that challenge the modern scientist today, and for the foreseeable future. This class will be taught through a combination of interactive lectures, journal paper discussion sessions, and a lab in which students get hands-on experience identifying proteins from gel bands by LC-MS/MS.
