A Parallel Track Lecture Format

including roundtable discussions to promote project specific conversations and foster collaborations between students and facilitators. We encourage you to use the poster sessions as an opportunity to showcase your research and get specific feedback on your project.

Concept Track

The sessions will cover concepts necessary to set-up mass spectrometry proteomics analysis such as experimental design, sample preparation, overview of quantitative LCMS workflows, as well as introductions to quality controls, data processing, and data annotation.

Applications Track

A guide to the pro's and con's of various quantitative approaches, and practical training using instrument specific datatsets with a focus on set-up, extraction, processing and quality control.

The Ubuntu Proteomics Summer School is brought to you in partnership with DIPLOMICS. DIPLOMICS (DIstributed PLatform in OMICS) is one of 13 Research Infrastructures established by the Department of Science and Innovation through its South African Research Infrastructure Roadmap (SARIR). Its objectives are to enable and strengthen Omics capacity, improve the quality of research and increase access to Omics technology and expertise – effectively connecting locally based world class laboratories with researchers. This network of supported resources spans more than 17 labs covering genomics, metabolomics and proteomics. It is an inclusive organisation that is guided and informed by advisory groups of experts and managed by a professional team.
