CBC Proteomics Club
The Chicago Biomedical Consortium (CBC) invites students, staff and faculty to join the CBC Proteomics Club. The club will provide an opportunity for discussions on basic mass spectrometry and proteomics as well as on new insights and recent advances in proteomics and data analysis. At each meeting, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty are invited to present their research interests followed by an informal discussion on “How can I use proteomics to advance my research?"

Meetings are free and will be held once a month with a pizza gathering. If you would like to join the Proteomics Club, please contact Aharon Solomon at Aharon_Solomon_CBC at northwestern dot edu
Proteomics and Informatics Instructional Workshops
Every three months the CBC plans to hold a Proteomics Instructional Workshop. The first CBC Proteomics and Informatics Workshop was held on Monday, August 27, 2007 and Tuesday, August 28, 2007, at the Gleacher Center, 450 North Cityfront Plaza Drive, Chicago, Illinois. The workshop concluded with a one-day practical course at the CBC/UIC Proteomics and Informatics Services Facility on Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Due to increasing interest, a second practical course in proteomics and informatics was held on November 14, 2007 at the CBC/UIC Proteomics and Informatics Services Facility. This course was a repeat of the first session offered on August 29, 2007. Both courses featured a full day of training which offered greater familiarity with the major equipment in the core facility and its capabilities. Specific training topics included sample preparation, peptide separation, mass spectrometry, and data analysis.
