This workshop focuses on expression proteomics, which aims to characterise the protein diversity and abundance in a particular system. You will learn about the bioinformatic analysis steps involved when working with these kind of data, in particular several dedicated proteomics Bioconductor packages, part of the R programming language. We will use real-world datasets obtained from label free quantitation (LFQ) as well as tandem mass tag (TMT) mass spectrometry. We cover the basic data structures used to store and manipulate protein abundance data, how to do quality control and filtering of the data, as well as several visualisations. Finally, we include statistical analysis of differential abundance across sample groups (e.g. control vs. treated) and further evaluation and biological interpretation of the results via gene ontology analysis. By the end of this workshop you should have the skills to make sense of expression proteomics data, from start to finish.

The onboarding passport supports our new starters in developing their knowledge about their role, their team, CUDAR and the University. It has been designed to help them feel connected to other parts of CUDAR and understand how we fit within the Cambridge ecosystem. It includes new and improved activities to create excitement and deepen their engagement. Much of the content is deigned to be self led so that the new starter can pace the content without becoming overwhelmed but there is a significant role that line managers will need to play in terms of keeping them on track, asking questions and prompting conversations that will solidify what they are learning along the way. To support line managers we have also created a corresponding Line Manager Guide to ensure that you are clear on your responsibilities in the journey. This briefing session will take a closer look through the passport and corresponding LM guide, in particular highlighting the key moments that line managers will engage with the journey. |

Pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) can have a devastating impact on women and their unborn child or children during pregnancy. However, it is becoming increasingly recognised that the effects of pre-eclampsia can remain with a woman throughout her life-course, placing her at an increased risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, well into her future. Is it pre-eclampsia which causes these effects? Or is pre-eclampsia simply a marker of an over-stressed system during pregnancy? This talk will explore the puzzling relationship between pregnancy, pre-eclampsia and women’s long-term cardiovascular health and explain how the University of Cambridge-led POPPY study hopes to provide answers to some of these questions. This will be a hybrid event and this link is for IN PERSON attendance. If you wish to attend online, please visit the "Related Courses" section on this page.
