The Future of Clinical Proteomics: New and Emerging Innovations in Next Generation Proteomics

Organizer: The seminar is organized by the Meilahti Clinical Proteomics Unit and the National Proteomics Consortium hosted by Biocenter Finland (BF).

 

Target group: The seminar is targeted to scientists, clinicians, graduate and post-graduate students, and other personnel. Students need to register to get credits for their presence.

 

Aim of the seminar:

It has become obvious in the recent years that new technologies are needed for several special and basic proteomics applications to overcome the limitations of the mass spectrometry-based classical proteomics technologies. Since the first publication of the partial human genome in 2000/2001, proteomics has desperately tried to answer the next big challenge and Biotech’s next mantra to reveal the human proteome, without great success. Large clinical cohorts have rarely been studied on the protein level in deep detail by any available mass spectrometry-based technology. MS instruments are slow and do not have the capability to be run in parallel for hundreds of samples simultaneously. Moreover, the high dynamic range of proteins in samples usually stored in any biobank (blood, CSF and other body fluids) give a MS instrument hard time to succeed. Therefore, several new technologies have arisen and are continuously developed to set a completely new level on modern clinical proteomics. Such technologies are often usable to biobank samples directly and they also show the capacity for high-throughput and speed, making them suitable for large scale patient sample cohorts. Another challenge for MS based proteomics is the determination of stoichiometries between different proteins or post-translational modifications of a protein. Alternative peptide sequencing technologies, such as fluorosequencing, are being developed to address these needs. At the same time, mass spectrometry field is far from stagnant. The instruments are becoming faster and more sensitive, and new sample preparation techniques address some of the shortcomings of MS-based analysis. The aim of this seminar is to give the listeners a glimpse of such new technologies and to provide a good summary and comparison on the use of the two top MS instruments of today (Thermo Fisher Scientific and Bruker Corporation) for clinical sample analyses.

Research to Business funding info session

Business Finland offers an excellent funding instrument designed to support the preparation for commercialisation of academic research results. This Research to Business funding is intended for projects within public research organisations, where research groups and researchers aim to commercialise their research results and develop their research into new businesses.

During the event you:

  • will get information about the key aspects of Research to Business funding,
  • learn how Helsinki Innovation Services Ltd coordinates and supports the application process of University of Helsinki applicants,
  • will get an idea of the timeline and different stages of a typical Research to Business project,
  • will learn about the benefits of commercialising research, from applying for Research to Business funding to setting up a company,
  • can ask questions.

 

The event is open to all researchers and staff from all scientific fields of the University of Helsinki.
