Contents:
The de.NBI Spring School 2026 focuses on bioinformatics for the analysis of mass-spectrometry-based peptide and protein data.

Participants will cover data formats, peptide identification, protein inference,and quantification, gaining an understanding of how  each compontent of the bottom-up proteomics  works and how everything fits together. In addition the limits and pitfalls of proteomics data and analysis will be covered to ensure each participant is able to take precautions in their future work.

Advanced topics like machine learning in proteomics, immunopeptidomics, single-cell proteomics, and metaproteomics, will also be introduced.

The program combines lectures and hands-on sessions and is aimed at PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and scientists with a background in bioinformatics and molecular biology.

Participants will gain the skills needed to analyze and interpret proteomics data in their own research.

Prerequisites:
The Summer School is targeted towards early career scientists like PhD students, but also experienced scientists, who want to learn more about Bioinformatics for Proteomics. A basic understanding of Python programming is required.
