SPECTROMETRY DATA:<BR>finding proteomic biomarkers for diagnosis and
prognosis.<BR> <BR>Barcelona, September 14th-16th
2005<BR> <BR>Organizer<BR>Dr. Victor Moreno<BR>Bioinformatics and
Biostatistics Unit<BR>Cancer Epidemiology and Registry Department<BR>Catalan
Institute of Oncology.<BR> <BR>Aim<BR>Advances in mass spectrometry over
the last few years have led to a revolution<BR>in the field of proteomics. This
course will cover all the issues involved in<BR>mass spectrometry data analysis,
from raw data to final discovery of protein<BR>biomarkers and
classification of samples according to their protein
pattern.<BR> <BR>Lecturer<BR>All the lectures will be given in English

Sciences<BR>Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry<BR>University of
Alberta<BR> <BR>Short preliminary program:<BR>1. Brief introduction to
biology, genomics and proteomics.<BR>2. Introduction to mass spectrometry
(MS).<BR>3. MS data preprocessing and experimental design.<BR>4. Analysis of
single peaks as biomarkers.<BR>5. Defining proteomic patterns: building and
testing predictors with MS data.</FONT></DIV>
