Quantitative proteomics and data analysis training day and workshop

Markus Fischer — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:29:18 +0000

The Biochemical Society holds a workshop on quantitative proteomics on November 28 and 29, 2011, in London. The workshop is organized in association with the British Society for Proteome Research.

The two-day workshop will focus on the issues and developments in quantitative proteomics. The first day will be a Training Day for relative newcomers to the field, and will introduce them to quantitative strategies, followed by round-table problem-solving discussions of experimental and informatics solutions. The second day will be a Workshop addressing the current issues and future for quantification in proteomics.

Topics will be:

Relative and absolute quantification
Label-free and labeled mediated approaches
Informatics for quantification
Data standards
Quantitative statistic and experimental design

See the website of the Biochemical Society for more information.

PolyQuant at HUPO world congress

Markus Fischer — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 07:12:58 +0000

PolyQuant’s managing director Markus Fischer will participate in HUPO’s 10th annual world congress at Geneva, starting September 4. He will engage in discussions with industry leaders and academics partners as how the QconCAT technology can be applied to the problem of defining and quantifying the human plasma proteome.

The plasma proteome is one of the most interesting targets for personalized medicine, and a promising resource for diagnostics. However, the vast concentration range of different plasma proteins – reaching from the very abundant immune globulines and serum albumine to faint traces of proteins leaking from damaged epithelial cells, spanning over 12 log units – make it very difficult to get an accurate readout of small changes in low-abundant proteins.

The QconCAT technology is particularly suited to tackle this problem, and the HUPO meeting will be an excellent opportunity to discuss its application to the analysis of the plasma proteome. For more information, please get in touch with us via the contact form.

Bio Europe Spring

DECanBio project

Markus Fischer — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:43:42 +0000

PolyQuant’s parent company, Entelechon, is partner in an EU consortium for the discovery and evaluation of bladder cancer biomarkers, called DECanBio. This project, which has started in 2008, is a currently ongoing effort to identify biomarkers which allow the reliable diagnosis and prediction of bladder cancer. For more information, please visit the project’s website.

QCAL

Markus Fischer — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:41:50 +0000

In collaboration with Claire Eyers of the University of Manchester and the members of our Scientific Advisory Board, Rob Beynon (University Liverpool), Simon Gaskell (Queen Mary University London), and Julie Pratt, we have developed a calibration standard for proteomics setups based on mass spectrometry.

QCAL allows to validate all steps required for the quantitative analysis of proteins based on proteotypic peptides. In particular, it is designed to test chromatography, MALDI ToF, and ESI MS setups.

QCAL will be made available to the public via a distributor, starting November 2010.

HUPO 2009 Annual World Congress

Markus Fischer — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:05:54 +0000

The 8th Annual World Congress of the Human Proteome Project – HUPO – will take place September 26-30 in Toronto.

BioTechnica 2009

Markus Fischer — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:01:35 +0000

Meet PolyQuant at BioTechnica in hall A9, booth F42.2. BioTechnica will take place from October 01 to October 03, 2009, in Hannover, Germany. This will be an excellent chance to discuss your proteomics and protein quantification projects with our experts.
