Register for our Webinar: Mathias Uhlen, PhD – Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden and Program Director of the Human Protein Atlas

Dr. Mathias Uhlen, talks Human Protein Atlas. Dec 8, 12pm EST

Date: December 8, 2010

Time: 12:00 PM EST

Details:

20,000 protein-encoded genes.  How do we determine the expression, localization, modification and function from each?

On Dec 8, 2010, at 12pm EST we are excited to bring you Dr. Mathias Uhlen speaking about the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) program.  The HPA is using antibody-based protein profiling based on the human genome sequence data.  Through their “high throughput proteomics” they are able to produce protein localizations in human cells, tissues and organs, and many cancer tissues as well.

The Protein Atlas data is available for researchers online in Version 7 of human protein atlas to investigate.  We’ve shown you the previous version of Human Protein Atlas, and how Dr. Uhlen’s team has mined the data to discover cancer biomarkers.

Register NOW for this informative webinar as Dr. Uhlen talks about the data that’s available via HPA 7.0.

In “Proteomic Peril”, horror writer Natalie L. Sin envisions walking corpses holding severed heads.  Security guards not looking at badges, but rather, at the possibility of eating BRAINS! (this blogger had to turn away more than once while reading).

Proteomic Peril was inspired by Natalie’s time waiting for her husband at the ASMS (American Society for Mass Spectrometry) meeting a couple of years ago.  Her husband, Life Sciences veteran Aaron Sin (Sigma’s Business Development person for Proteomics) begged to differ.  That year he learned about applying micro-fluidics in the field of proteomics.

Well we are happily attending the  58^th ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics again this year, and are bringing information on ways to use AQUA Peptides to do protein quantification, SEPPRO depletion columns to find low abundance proteins, Universal Proteomics Standards for Mass Spectrometry, and also Supelco analytical will be available to talk HPLC columns, LC-MS and much more.

Sigma Life Science is taking part in the following presentations while at ASMS, we hope to see you there.
