Overview

The field of omics is a rapidly evolving and multi-disciplinary one that encompasses genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Each of these individual fields offers the possibility to understand biological systems in a way that was previously unthinkable.

On this course you will learn about proteomic techniques to detect and quantify proteins in very low concentrations. The course explores nanoparticle preparation and characterisation, nanoparticle-based enrichment, and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry. You will gain an understanding of the unique challenges in low-abundance protein analysis. Through engaging sessions, you will learn to apply nanoproteomic strategies in research, particularly in biomarker discovery, early disease detection, and personalized medicine. 

This course is part of the Techniques in Omics series delivered in partnership with University of Derby. You can choose to attend any or all of these courses, and will receive an attendance certificate for each course you attend. Discounts are available for those who would like to book all five courses. The courses in this series are:

Aims

Course tutors

The course will be run by Dr Vikash Yadav. Vikash is a Lecturer at the University of Derby, with a multidisciplinary background in protein engineering, therapeutic proteins, and nanotechnology. He has over 10 years of research experience working in a number of different aspects of bioengineering and biomedical science. He performed extensive protein profiling of human clinical samples in his PhD work. Since then, he contributed towards the development of a high throughput method to explore dark interactome using human disordered library . He was involved in developing nano-tools to link proteins through covalent interactions. In his current research he is exploring nano protein particles for biomedical applications. He is involved in designing and delivering various modules of undergraduate programmes and outreach activities at University of Derby. He is a member of the Biochemical Society, FEBS, HVB and works with the Royal Society of Biology as a part of a team that accredits university degrees.
