International Post-graduate Course on Protein Quality Control, University of Siena, June 24 to 27, 2025

Scope
The objective of this course is to familiarize participants with these guidelines for protein quality control and to provide an overview of the technologies essential for enhancing the accuracy and reproducibility of data obtained with purified proteins. Throughout the course, participants will have access to the theoretical foundations of these technologies and will also gain hands-on experience with them, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

Target audience
This course is designed for scientists currently using or intending to use purified proteins in their laboratory experiments. By the end of the course, participants should be familiar with a variety of techniques applicable to purified proteins, ultimately enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of data in downstream applications involving these proteins.

Programme
We offer a 4-day course comprising lectures on protein expression and purification techniques, and methods for assessing the quality of purified protein samples. Additionally, participants will have hands-on practical sessions demonstrating how to apply these experiments for protein quality control. Topics included in the course:

Lectures
