Waters Corporation and the Biochemical Society announced today the opening of registration for the Biochemical Society's Quantitative Proteomics Training Day and the ProteoMMX 3.0 Symposium, consecutive events taking place March 24 - 27, 2014 in Chester, England. The Quantitative Proteomics Training Day is aimed at researchers seeking to gain familiarity with the field of quantitative proteomics. ProteoMMX 3.0, following immediately after the Training Day, is dedicated to current thinking and state of the art research in quantitative proteomics.

Professor Rob Beynon at the Institute of Integrative Biology at the University of Liverpool is leading the Organizing Committee. "The Symposium really gets to grips with the nuances and uncertainties in quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics in a friendly and supportive meeting. It is particularly suitable for early career researchers and newcomers to the field, especially if they attend the Training Day preceding the Symposium," said Prof. Beynon.

The Symposium has been held three times previously with great success. Waters Corporation is the Enabling Sponsor of the ProteoMMX 3.0 Symposium.

About Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins in biological systems. Mass spectrometry-enabled proteomics can identify large numbers of proteins in complex systems but there is a pressing need to support identification with precise and accurate quantification, whether globally – every protein - or in a targeted - specific proteins - fashion. By enabling proteomics experiments, mass spectrometry helps develop our understanding of the function of proteins in a living organism in normal physiology and in disease.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Protein BiologyThe analysis of protein expression, identity and function is vital for many areas of life science research and drug discovery. Some of the most commonly used techniques in protein analysis include Western blotting, electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.
