The HUPO Education and Training Committee (ETC) successfully organized precongress training courses during the HUPO Congress in Dresden 2024. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participants for contributing to the success of these sessions. The precongress training courses were well attended and provided valuable insights, helping participants deepen their knowledge of proteomics. If you have suggestions or recommendations for future training courses, please feel free to contact the ETC.
Summary of Session #1: Post-translation modification -insight into sample preparation, enrichment, detection, and computation.
This pre-congress training course was designed to address various aspects of posttranslational modifications (PTMs), offering insights into sample preparations, enrichment techniques, detection methods, and computational approaches for analyzing and profiling PTMs. The session aimed to educate and inspire researchers and students interested in measuring and understanding PTMs in biological or clinical samples.
The panelists for the session included esteemed experts in the field: Prof. Birgit Schilling (Buck Institute for Research on Aging, USA), Prof. Martin Larsen (University of Southern Denmark, Europe), and Prof. Daniel Kolarich (Griffith University, Australia). They provided in-depth coverage of different PTMs, including phosphorylation, glycosylation, cysteine modifications, and other modifications like malonylation and succinylation. Each expert shared the latest state-of-the-art tools and methodologies while highlighting future directions in PTM sample preparation and analysis.
The training course attracted many audience members, including graduates and early career researchers. Despite being the first session on day 0 of the HUPO Congress, it garnered significant attention and participation. Attendees provided overwhelmingly positive feedback, noting that it offered a comprehensive snapshot of various PTMs. They appreciated the opportunity for fruitful discussions with the panellists, which extended beyond the session into subsequent days of the conference. This interactive format enriched the learning experience and fostered valuable connections within the proteomics community.
