Forensic proteomics – a new super power for criminal investigations
By: Assoc Prof Michelle Hill, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Brisbane, Austratlia
Forensic DNA technology is widely known to the public for its role in identifying “who” may have been present at the crime scenes. Now, the forensic science toolbox has a new super hero - forensic proteomics. How does analysis of proteins left at the crime scene help investigations?

Localization of Organelle Proteins by Isotope Tagging (LOPIT): Past, Present and Future
By: Mohamed Elzek and Dr. Kathryn Lilley University of Cambridge,UK
Mohamed is a physician scientist with a passion in everything omics-related, especially proteomics. Mo is now enjoying working on his PhD at professor Kathryn Lilley’s group at the University of Cambridge, where his focus is on giving each protein and RNA molecule a postcode inside the cell through the process of DNA damage repair. Mo received his medical training at Alexandria University in his home country, Egypt. He then went on to gain experience in cancer proteomics research with Dr. Karin Rodland at the Pacific Northwest National laboratory in the United States and at Professor Reudi Aebersold’s lab in Switzerland.Mo is a final year PhD student.

The Early Career Researcher Initiative wants to hear from you!
What kind of activities would you like to engage in during the COVID-19 pandemic? What do you look for in a mentor? What topics would you like senior researchers to share their views on? The ECR initiative prepared a very short survey (less than 5 minutes) in order to tailor its upcoming activities to the expectations and concerns of the community.
Please share your views on these questions here...

Introduction to Proteogenomics
Hosted by: Sanjeeva Srivastava, IIT Bombay, India
This course will utilize advanced genomic and proteomic technologies and their data from high-quality human biospecimens to identify potentially actionable therapeutic molecular targets. This course is a part of a workshop by experts in the field of proteomics and proteogenomics in cancer research from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

Introduction to Proteomics
Hosted by: Sanjeeva Srivastava, IIT Bombay, India
This course introduces the basic biology of proteins and the new advanced science called as proteomics which aims to look into the protein properties from a global perspective, i.e., not undertaking one protein at a time, but an entire set of proteins in the milieu. The course will cover in detail the two major aspects of proteomics i.e., Gel-based proteomics and Mass spectrometry-based proteomics.
