With recent improvements in acquisition speed and sensitivity of mass spectrometers, coupled with the robustness and throughput provided by microflow chromatography, researchers can now analyze large numbers of biological samples with short run times, accelerating biological research.
About this webinar:
Birgit shares her research around Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and human breast cancer in this webinar.
She discusses how her lab at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, utilized the latest high-resolution mass spectrometry solution from SCIEX, the ZenoTOF 7600 system, and a novel high-sensitivity data independent acquisition workflow, Zeno SWATH DIA, to study both a mouse acute kidney injury model (AKI) and a human breast cancer cohort that consisted of FFPE-preserved specimen of 5 cancer subtypes and healthy controls.
Benefits of ZenoTOF
By attending this webinar, you will learn:
- Comprehensive data independent acquisition, with 80 variable windows, is a fast robust MS workflow for deciphering disease mechanisms and disease pathways
- Short microflow gradients maintain quantification accuracy and accelerate quantitative protein profiling workflows in mammalian tissues
- The kidney proteome is completely remodeled during kidney injury
- Optimized FFPE tissue analysis (with up to 6,000 proteins quantified) highlights breast cancer biology and cancer progression in 5 different breast cancer subtypes
About the speaker:
Dr. Birgit Schilling has worked at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2000 as Professor and Director of the Mass Spectrometry Technology Center, specifically focusing on data independent acquisition technologies and large-scale proteome quantification.
Dr. Schilling received her Ph.D. in Germany and then moved to the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) as a postdoctoral fellow.
Dr. Schilling is interested in translational research and research that may aim toward therapeutic interventions to improve human aging or age-related diseases, specifically osteoarthritis, kidney injury and cancer.
Dr. Schilling uses modern proteomic technologies to investigate mechanisms of aging, senescence and cancer and uses this knowledge to develop biomarkers and targets for interventions.
