Thermo Fisher Scientific to present new mass spectrometry-based targeted protein quantitation approach
At APA India 2011 will discuss how a new workflow can overcome challenges associated with identifying small proteins and large peptides
Dr Amol Prakash, a senior software scientist at the BRIMS (Biomarker Research Initiatives in Mass Spectrometry) Center, has been invited to give a talk during Applied Pharmaceutical Analysis (APA) India 2011, which takes place February 6-9, 2011 at the Hyderabad International Conference Center.
He will present a mass spectrometry-based targeted protein quantitation approach to identify and quantify proteins, peptides and their resulting metabolites. "Identification and Quantification of In Vitro Protein Metabolites Using A Novel Mass Spectrometry Based Workflow" will discuss how mass spectrometry-based targeted protein quantitation has assumed a primary role in identifying, verifying and quantifying biomarkers.
One area of research that presents new challenges is the identification and quantification of small proteins and large peptides. The talk will outline the innovative methods currently being developed by Thermo Fisher and the BRIMS Center to counter these challenges.
The BRIMS Center develops comprehensive, MS-based workflows using cutting-edge Thermo Scientific products for robust biomarker discovery and clinical research validation. Dr Prakash brings together multi-disciplinary expertise in high-throughput data mining and mass spectrometry to create powerful software. He was at the forefront of the development of Thermo Scientific Pinpoint, a targeted quantification software solution.
