Course Instructors


The following instructors and speakers have agreed to contribute their expertise to the success of the 2019 Proteomics Symposium in Cape Town, SA:

Ben Collins   Ben Collins
Ben holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and applied chemistry from the University College Dublin, where he remained for 1 year as the Agilent Technologies Newman Fellow (postdoctoral) in Quantitative Proteomics. In 2010 Ben moved to the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zurich as postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of Prof. Ruedi Aebersold and Dr. Matthias Gstaiger, where his research focused on the application of quantitative interaction proteomics in signaling and the development of SWATH mass spectrometry. Ben is now a group leader of his own at Queen’s University Belfast.
Brendan MacLean   Brendan MacLean
Brendan worked at Microsoft for 8 years in the 1990s where he was a lead developer and development manager for the Visual C++/Developer Studio Project. Since leaving Microsoft, Brendan has been the Vice President of Engineering for Westside Corporation, Director of Engineering for BEA Systems, Inc., Sr. Software Engineer at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and a founding partner of LakKey Software. In this last position, he was one of the key programmers responsible for the Computational Proteomics Analysis System (CPAS), made significant contributions to the development of X!Tandem and the Trans Proteomic Pipeline, and created the LabKey Enterprise Pipeline. Since August, 2008 he has worked as a Sr. Software Engineer within the MacCoss lab and been responsible for all aspects of design, development and support in creating the Skyline Targeted Proteomics Environment and its growing worldwide user community.

Lindsay Pino   Lindsay K. Pino
Lindsay is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Ben Garcia’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania where she uses quantitative mass spectrometry to study epigenetics. Before going to the University of Washington for graduate school, she spent two years in South Korea as a Fulbright scholar and three years working as a research associate in Dr. Steve Carr's Proteomics Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. She earned her PhD under the joint advisorship of Drs. Michael J. MacCoss and William Stafford Noble. There, she developed techniques for data independent acquisition mass spectrometry, in particular the challenges associated with scaling up quantitative mass spectrometry experiments. Her research interests are in the roles proteins play in nuclear organization and the maintenance of genomic stability.
  Birgit Schilling, Ph.D.
Birgit is Assistant Professor and the Director of the Mass Spectrometry and Chemistry Core at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, CA. Research projects include investigations of neurodegenerative diseases, aging, cancer, mitochondrial damage, protein posttranslational modifications including acetylation in bacteria, the role of surface glycoconjugates in bacterial pathogenesis etc., but also mass spectrometric method development. Birgit has worked in the field of protein quantitation to assess differential protein expression or changes in posttranslational modifications, particularly using selected reaction monitoring stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry (SRM-SID-MS), and other chemical and metabolic labeling quantitative workflows, i.e., iTRAQ and SILAC technologies. Birgit has participated in large multi-laboratory SRM verification studies taking advantage of Skyline’s platform independent features. In recent years, she has used more and more label free protein quantitation approaches to investigate discovery mass spectrometric data sets (Skyline MS1 Filtering), as well as newer quantitative workflows, such as high resolution data-independent acquisitions (SWATH and PRM). Birgit has co-developed some algorithms for the Skyline Tool Store and she also extensively uses the interactive data sharing features of the Panorama webserver.
