International Workshop on Environmental Proteomics
Type: International Workshop
Date: January 19-22, 2010
Location: Keystone Resort, Keystone, CO
Primary Workshop Goal
The goal of this workshop is to assess the current state of the field of environmental proteomics, identify challenges, and elucidate a roadmap to guide us in overcoming such challenges specific to the analysis of complex communities.
Anticipanted Workshop Outcomes
- Proposal to EMSL for side-by-side comparison of soil protein extraction methods
- Formation of new environmental proteomics society
- Roadmap (not review) papers on strategies for overcoming sample preparation and bioinformatics challenges
The final workshop program can be downloaded here.
