Description:

This course will address a range of targeted techniques using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mass spectrometry approaches for targeted quantitative proteomics and other small molecule -omics. Session topics will include an introduction to setting up target lists for peptides and small molecules, basic importing and understanding targeted mass spectrometer data, absolute quantification, differential abundance testing, and a general focus on learning to use Skyline software effectively in your research. The instructor list includes researchers and the Skyline project lead, all with a wealth of combined experience in targeted and quantitative mass spectrometry, and both using and creating Skyline to meet the needs of diverse research questions.

Instructors: Brendan MacLean, Kendra Adams, Tina Ludwig, Will Thompson
