About the Practical Course

Targeted proteomics technologies, and specially data-independent acquisition techniques, have revolutionized the landscape of proteomic research in the last decade offering researchers unprecedented precision and depth in proteome analysis.

This EMBO Practical Course on Targeted Proteomics 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, and gain exposure to emerging applications in the field.

Thhis EMBO Practical 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, and hands-on tutorials and exercises that will cover the complete workflow for experimental design and data analysis.

Moreover, these sessions will be followed by poster sessions and networking events to introduce informal discussions around each participant's particular scientific 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.

Transport

By plane

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 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.

By bus

The main bus station is Barcelona Nord, which is very near the center, 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.

Transport from the Airport El Prat

You can get to the city from the airport with the Aerobús with stops in Plaça d’Espanya, Urgell, Plaça de la Universitat and Plaça de Catalunya, or the new underground line L9. The Airport train station is located 200 meters outside terminal T2 building and train goes to the Barcelona Sants Estació.

There is also a standard bus and night bus.

Sustainability at the meeting

The EMBO Courses & Workshops Programme assesses meetings based on the proposal and implementation of sustainability measures. Meetings can earn points across a range of measures, with each measure assigned a point value from one to five. These points classify the meeting into one of three sustainability levels, reflecting the organizers' commitment to enhancing the sustainability of their event.
