Lunchtime workshop

Proteomics unleashed:  Advancing proteomics research with guest speaker Prof. Mike MacCoss, University of Washington.

Monday, July 19 | 13:00 - 13:45 BST | Large Lecture Hall

Proteomics Unleased: advancing proteomics research, showcasing a revolution in the world of proteomics and precision medicine.

Advances in genomics have led to valuable insights into disease. Proteomics expands on this research by adding new understandings of complex and dynamic cellular-level processes that can lead to the development of new drugs and diagnostics that have a material impact on human health.

The new Astral analyzer builds on Thermo Fisher’s proven Orbitrap mass spectrometry platform with novel technology to deliver up to two times deeper proteome coverage and up to four times more throughput compared to current mass spectrometers.

Don’t miss our guest speaker Professor Mike MacCoss, from the Department of Genome, University of Washington, and his presentation on:

Evaluating the performance of the Astral mass analyzer for quantitative proteomics using data-independent acquisition

We evaluate the quantitative performance of the newly released Asymmetric Track Lossless (Astral) analyzer. Using data independent acquisition, the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer quantifies 5 times more peptides per unit time than state-of-the-art Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass spectrometers, which have long been the gold standard for high resolution quantitative proteomics. Our results demonstrate that the Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer can produce high quality quantitative measurements across a wide dynamic range. We also use a newly developed extra-cellular vesicle enrichment protocol to reach new depths of coverage in the plasma proteome, quantifying over 5,000 plasma proteins in a 60-minute gradient with the Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer

Professor Michael MacCoss, Genome Sciences, University of Washington states “One of the biggest challenges we face studying the human proteome is having too many samples to measure and not enough time,” “The Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer is a true game-changer, offering an unrivalled combination of sensitivity, dynamic range and speed that doesn’t compromise accurate and precise quantitation. With this instrument, we can deliver on the promise of precision medicine much sooner.”
