Abstract:
The 13th annual Canadian National Proteomics Network was held in May 2022 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. More than 175 individuals participated in this dynamic and productive meeting either in-person or virtually. A pre-symposium organized by trainees and dedicated to highlighting the best and brightest emerging talent in proteomics across Canada preceded the main symposium, which welcomed plenary and invited speakers from around the world. The presentations covering ground-breaking science were interspersed with critical discussions on improving equity, diversity, and inclusion within the proteomics community across Canada, along with important networking opportunities for early-career researchers.

Proteomics
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...
Protein Networks
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...
Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry
This technique helps gather information regarding the protein from which the peptide was obtained and to study the peptides’ amino acid sequence. Identifying peptides from a complex mixture is an important component of the growing field of...
