Learner goals and capabilities

This course covers the fundamental concepts and applications of protein characterization techniques ("proteomics") as well as how individual and community-wide metabolism are studied ("metabolomics"). Cutting-edge proteomics and metabolomics methods will be applied to real-world datasets and problems to characterize biological systems and explain phenotypes. This course will help prepare students for future work on using, characterizing, and designing novel protein and metabolism-based tools applicable to research and industrial applications. Students taking this course will gain skills for future work designing experiments, analyzing, and integrating data on the proteomes and metabolomes of various biological systems

Project Examples

Requirements
  • identify the major methods and approaches used to characterize protein structures and functions.
  • apply the factors that determine protein functions in the cell, as well as aspects such as protein dynamics, binding, and catalysis, to understand and develop molecules that impact larger biological functions.
  • modulate protein functions to affect larger metabolic networks.
  • design and execute computational analysis of protein functions to characterize larger biological communities.
  • apply computational tools for characterizing and interpreting metatranscriptomic datasets.
  • apply metabolomic findings to address various biological, environmental, and/or health-related problems.
  • assess the impact of evolutionary change on metabolic pathways and identify and design possible new drug treatments.
