Invitation
Welcome to the Proteomic Forum 2013 in Berlin
Sunday, March 17 to Thursday, March 21, 2013
Freie Universität Berlin-Dahlem
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee it is a great pleasure to
invite you to the Proteomic Forum 2013. Again, the Proteomic
Forum will bring together leading experts from all over the world
and provide a critical mass in proteomics technologies, molecularand cellular proteomics as well as clinical proteomics. Join us toenjoy great science and Berlin, the exciting capital of Germany
bridging Western and Eastern Europe.
The conference will start with an educational workshop on Sunday,
introducing newcomers to basic proteomic techniques and analyticalstrategies, and updating experts on the latest developments inproteomics technologies and data handling. Informal evening
sessions will help to discuss individual open questions with experts
in the field. Scientific sessions with a decent share of presentations
selected from submitted abstracts will cover specific thematic areas
in proteomics. A poster session will provide the opportunity topresent the latest results from your lab.
Proteomic Forum 2013 will provide insight into the mostrecent advances in proteomics technologies, MALDI-imaging,bioinformatics, post-translational modifications, quantitative
approaches, biomarker discovery and disease, pharmaco-toxicology,
cellular and organismic proteomics, organelles and membranes,
plant- and microbial proteomics, affinity- and functional proteomics,
signalling as well as systems biology. The conference will also focus
on applications and commercialization in research, diagnostics
and therapy with an emphasis on proteomic approaches to enable
personalized medicine. An industry exhibition will present the latest
products in proteomics technologies.
You are cordially invited by the German Society of Proteome
Research and the Institute of Biochemistry at the Freie Universität
Berlin. We look forward to seeing you!

Educational Session
On Sunday, March 17, starting at 10:00, an Educational Program withthe title “Proteins, Structure and beyond” will focus on analysis of intact
proteins and application of MS for structure elucidation. In addition,
talks about NMR Spectroscopy and how functional information can beobtained in combination with structural knowledge will be presented.

Doctor's Office, News Corner
A special session primarily addressed to those who really conduct
Proteomics research in the lab will be organized which offers thepossibility to discuss with experts in Proteomics in an informal way.
The “Doctor’s Office” is thought to be a platform for everyone whowants to discuss actual problems and to ask for proposals to resolvethese.
New solutions arriving from continuous engin­eering efforts to improvethe equipment for research in Proteomics will be orally presented byleading technology providing companies in the “News Corner” session
scheduled for Monday evening.
