Description

A mobility placement project conceived as a research stay of applicant will support expansion and improvement of his professional knowledge in the field of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. The education and practise performed under the guidance of a supervisor will be focused on high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, qualitative and quantitative analysis of proteins, structural and functional bacterial genome annotation, proteogenomic analysis and introduction of various bioinformatics tools. Besides the gained skills and competences, a new collaboration focused on research of microbial pathogens and issues of antibiotic resistance will be discussed and established between the institute from Czech Republic and the donor state. This will be promoted by pilot joint experimental analysis performed during the applicant mobility placement.

Summary of project results

Project supported expansion and improvement of applicant´s professional knowledge in the field of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. According to the plan, the applicant absolved schooling and practise focused on label-free quantitative analysis of proteins utilising the MaxQuant software and the LC-MS/MS data. Further, the proteogenomic analysis covering structural and functional genome annotation of target bacterial strain was realised with the help of PERSEUS and VESPA software tools. The acquired knowledge were presented to other colleagues at the home institute. Besides of increased skills/competences, the benefit of new collaboration focused on research of microbial pathogens and issues of antibiotic resistance was discussed. Here, the both host and home institutes characterized their interests for future cooperation. The pilot joint research focused on proteome of the pathogenic E. coli was promoted.
