Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member faculties. All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member faculties. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Identify the research challenges in palaeontology, paleoanthropology, archaeology and cultural heritage studies that palaeoproteomics can successfully address.
2. Understand major decay mechanisms, and therefore better appreciate how extraction protocols are optimised for ancient proteins.
3. Critically assess the content of scientific literature describing palaeoproteomics-based research.
Content
This three-day course will provide the attendees with a detailed, critical description of the methods and the applications of ancient protein analysis. The course will mainly focus on the impact of ancient protein analysis on palaeontology, palaeoanthropology, archaeology, cultural heritage conservation and forensic medicine. In addition, the methods used to analyse and validate ancient, or degraded, proteins will be described. The lectures, attended remotely or in-person (3 days, 6.5 hours each day), will present:
(i) the history of this research field,
(ii) the most advanced technologies and methodologies it relies on, and
(iii) the most relevant scientific achievements it accomplished.
Indicative programme:
1. 14th August: History of Palaeoproteomics and Key Discoveries - Online or in-person attendance
2. 15th August: Applications I (Cultural Heritage) - Online or in-person attendance
3. 16th August: Applications II (Forensics and Evolution) - Online or in-person attendance
Participants
The target group for this course are PhD students that wish to augment their research through the incorporation of ancient protein analysis. The course will be of special interest to those investigating paleontology, paleoanthropology, forensics medicine and cultural heritage conservation.
Relevance to graduate programmes
The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:
• Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences
• Oral Sciences, Forensic Medicine and Bioanthropology
NOTE
: the course can be of high interest also for PhD fellows from the Humanities and Natural Sciences Graduate Schools at UCPH, nationally and internationally.
