Tissue Proteomics Workshop
Laser Micro-dissection to Mass Spectrometry
Monday, March 19, 2012
Session Organizers: Claire Brown & Richard Cole
Multi-disciplinary research is not only a “catch-phrase” but a productive method for doing great science. With this in mind, we are hosting a very informative workshop: Laser Micro-dissection to Mass Spectrometry during the upcoming ABRF 2012 Annual Meeting (Monday evening, March 19). We believe that this is a fantastic opportunity to bring together participants from multiple technology areas.
Major companies in the field will be presenting solutions ranging from those related to animal/tissue culture, through sample preparation, micro-dissection and ultimately protein/RNA/DNA analysis. The highlight of the evening will be a cutting edge talk from Hans Aerni who will discuss all of these aspects of tissue proteomics related to his research in Dr. Caprioli’s Laboratory at Vanderbilt University.
Space is limited so reserve a spot now!

Put “Evening Session” as the subject.

Hans Aerni (Yale University)
Presentations will provide information from animal/tissue culture right through the process of sample preparations, micro-dissection, and protein analysis. This will be a wonderful way to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds with real concrete applications that utilize technologies from various research areas.
Presentations will cover work with DNA sequencing, molecular interactions and proteomics. Leica Microsystems and Carol Zeiss will have laser micro-dissection instruments in the exhibition area.
