The topics of the event include the usual topics of NETTAB and BBCC workshops.

Moreover, a special session will be devoted to “Computational Proteomics“. This session was supported by ELIXIR, the research infrastructure for life-science data, as part of its support for the ELIXIR Proteomics Community.

• Protein identification and validation
• Biomarker discovery
• Quantitative proteomics
• Single cell proteomics
• Targeted proteomics
• Molecular imaging by mass spectrometry
• Microbial proteomics

NETTAB Workshop topics
