Professor Peter James graduated from Oxford University and completed his Ph.D. at the ETH in Zürich in 1990. After a two year post-doc in UCSF, San Francisco and in ThermoFinnigan, San José, he returned to the ETH. He took the chair in Proteomics at the Department of Electrical Measurements (LTH), Lund University in 2001. He is a member of the Founding Board of the Human Proteome Organisation, HUPO, and was chairman of the education committee and is on the editorial boards of several leading proteomics journals. He has published over 130 peer-reviewed articles and reviews in the field of protein chemistry and proteomics and holds 6 patents in proteomics methodologies. His research field is protein analysis with a focus on protein-protein interaction, non-gel proteomics, membrane proteins and methods development for clinical proteomics.
More about the International Proteomics Tutorial Programme:
The education committees of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) and the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) together with their national counterparts have launched the International Proteomics Tutorial Programme to meet these needs. The programme is being led by Peter James (Sweden), Thierry Rabilloud (France) and Kazuyuki Nakamura (Japan). It involves collaboration between the leading proteomics journals: Journal of Proteome Research, Journal of Proteomics, Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, and Proteomics. The overall level is aimed at Masters/PhD level students who are starting out their research and who would benefit from a solid grounding in the techniques used in modern protein-based research. The tutorial program will cover core techniques and basics as an introduction to scientists new to the field. At a later stage the programme may be expanded with a series of more advanced topics focussing on the application of proteomics techniques to biological problem solving. The entire series of articles and slides will be made freely available for teaching use at the Journals and Organisations homepages and at a special website, www.proteomicstutorials.org
