Chem 204: Introduction to Proteomics

Winter Quarter 2015

Starting with a review of protein chemistry, emphasizing chemical modification and separation technologies, the course will review current approaches to the study of proteomics, how proteomics interacts with other fields and discuss what is likely to be realized in the next several years.

This course is NOT restricted to graduate students. If you are not a student and are interested in attending, please contact Robert Chalkley.

Course Assessment

In addition to attending the lectures, students taking this course for credit will be required to select and present a review of a published paper (from a pool of papers selected by the instructors). These will be presented during the last half hour of several of the later lectures in the series. Students will also be expected to write a paper on a topic of current interest to the field (from a list provided, or select their own topic after instructor approval).
