About the Practical Course

Different targeted proteomics strategies have recently emerged in the field of proteomics that enable the detection and quantification of a predetermined subset of proteins with a high degree of sensitivity and reproducibility across many samples. This EMBO Practical Course aims to fill in the gap between theory and the actual implementation of the targeted proteomics workflow, so that by the end of the week the students have the necessary know-how to implement the targeted proteomics workflows in their own research laboratories. The course will offer a daily keynote talk by a high-profile speaker introducing the topic of the day with examples of his/her own research, followed by "Practical demonstrations" (20%), and "Practical work and exercises" (40%) that will cover the complete workflow for experimental design and data analysis of targeted proteomics assays (i.e. targeted method design, optimization of instrument settings, manual and automated quantitative analysis, and statistical analysis of the data). Moreover, these sessions will be followed by "Poster Sessions" (10%) and "Social Events" to introduce informal discussion tables to adapt the technology to each participant's particular interests.


About EMBO Courses and Workshops

EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).

Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.

Selection criteria

In case more than 25 applicants will register for this course, the following criteria will be applied to select the course participants:

- Each applicant will be requested to submit a short abstract summarizing his/her project and how targeted proteomics might be useful in the future. Abstracts will be used to assess which applicants could benefit the most.

- Each applicant will be expected to have a basic prior knowledge in MS-based proteomics.

- Fair distribution of applicants from different countries and scientific institutes.

- Fair gender distribution.

- Fair background distribution: students, postdocs, scientists and industry participants.

Abstract guidelines

Abstracts must be submitted online no later than 5 July 2019. Abstracts must be written in English. Submission of an abstract does not ensure the acceptance for the course. Abstracts should include a title, authors, authors’ institution addresses and body.

Bibliographic references should only be used if quoted in the abstract body. The body of the abstract should not exceed 4,000 characters (including spaces) or 500 words in English.

If an abstract is not submitted, the application form will not be considered.

Poster specifications

The course includes several poster sessions in which participants will explain their research projects. Each participant will be provided with an A0 poster board to display the poster.

The poster board surface area is approx. 90 cm wide and 120 cm high. This is a portrait/vertical format. Materials should be printed on thin poster paper or cardboard, anything heavier will not stay in position. You will be provided with velcro tabs and pins to adhere your poster to the board. All participants will present their poster.

Travel grants

A limited number of travel grants are available for participants. Applicants do not need to apply separately for travel grants for this event but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered for a travel grant. Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizer who will notify all eligible participants. More information is available at EMBO Travel Grants' page.

Child care grant

EMBO Courses and Workshops offers grants to offset additional child care costs incurred by participants or speakers when participating at any EMBO Courses and Workshop funded meeting. Eligible costs include fees for a caregiver or child-care facility, travel costs for a caregiver, or travel costs for taking the child to the meeting etc. Please indicate on the registration form whether you would like to be considered for the grant. Please also describe how you intend to use the child care grant and specify the sum that you will need.

TRANSPORT

By plane

Barcelona’s main airport is El Prat

Reus Airport (105 km)

By train

The city's main station is estació de Sants, This station is serviced by numerous national and international trains, including high-speed trains.

Barcelona has other train stations:

Long distance journeys are best booked in advance but for shorter journeys, including those in Barcelona on the local rodalies (Catalan) or cercanías (Spanish) services, you can buy a ticket before boarding the train.

Barcelona is also served by the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). Although they run short and medium distance inter-city train services, these are integrated into the city's underground network, the Metro, which means you can use the T-10, a combined ticket for 10 journeys on city buses and the underground as well as the FGC trains (http://www.fgc.cat/eng/cercador.asp).

By bus

The main bus station is Barcelona Nord (https://www.barcelonanord.cat/en/home/), which is very near the centre, by the Arc de Triomf, although most buses stop at Sants station. There are national and international services and usually it is not necessary to book in advance. The bus station is linked to the city’s underground system. Look at the map with the different underground lines and bus routes on the TMB website (https://www.tmb.cat/en/barcelona-transport).

Transport from the Airport El Prat

You can get to the city from the airport with the Aerobús (http://www.aerobusbcn.com/), with stops in Plaça d’Espanya, Urgell, Plaça de la Universitat and Plaça de Catalunya, or the new underground line L9 (http://www.aeropuertobarcelona-elprat.com/ingl/metro-to-barcelona-airport-L9sud.htm). The Airport train station is located 200 meters outside terminal T2 building and train goes to the Barcelona Sants Estació (https://www.aeropuertobarcelona-elprat.com/ingl/accesos_aeropuerto_tren4010.htm).

There is also a standard bus and night bus (https://www.aeropuertobarcelona-elprat.com/ingl/accesos_aeropuerto_taxi_bus4030.htm).
