Curriculum

6-12 weeks curriculum

The fellow will be provided with an intensive introduction to the field of mass-spectrometry based omics through both theoretical and experimental training. Initially, interactive theory sessions will allow the individuals to grasp the key technical aspects required for the experimental training and discuss with the laboratory team the various applications of mass spectrometry that can be beneficial to their biomedical research career. From here, experimental training will be provided in three MS-based disciplines: untargeted metabolomics/lipidomics, untargeted proteomics, and spatial omics. Each fellow will be able to perform sample preparation protocols themselves, guided by the supervisor, and will follow each experiment in its entirety. As such, the fellows will also be trained in how to interpret and analyse the highly complex omics datasets generated in biomedical research
In addition, the laboratory team will be available to engage with the fellows in order to answer any further questions that may arise or deepen the fellow’s knowledge in complementary arguments.Accordingly, the fellows will be encouraged to participate in the laboratory’s weekly meeting in order to gain further insights into the workings of a metabolomics and proteomics laboratory and actively contribute to the discussion of ongoing research
All throughout the training any peculiar challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.

It was a great pleasure and honour to spend 6 weeks in the modern and well-equipped laboratories of the School of Medicine and Surgery University Milano-Biccoca. The supervisor and other professors are full of knowledge, dedicated and ready to explain everything thoroughly. During my training, I was involved in metabolomics, lipidomics, proteomics and MALDI imaging analysis, so I had opportunities to learn to prepare samples, as well as to work with sophisticated analytical instruments and use various useful software tools. I was surrounded by excellent colleagues in an inspiring environment, so I felt like a part of the team from the beginning. In my free time, a had opportunities to visit other Italian cities, go sightseeing, learn about Italian history and tradition, and enjoy Italian food. I will always be very grateful for the experience and knowledge I got. Unforgettable summer is behind me thanks to the great people I met and Trialect.

Dear Trialect Group, Thank you so much for the good news. Unfortunately, I do not have any funds available now so that I can join the training fellowship. Is there any other opportunity so that I can join the utmost fellowship on Mass Spectrometry Infrastructure, Proteomics and Metabolomics Unit Via Raoul Follereau, 3, 20854 Vedano al Lambro. Thank you

Kindly register with us at https://trialect.com/program-list to get updated on the similar programs.

when is the training program scheduled

You can work with the host mentor and schedule

Is there any possibility of contacting the host and choosing the date before paying for the course?

With hundreds of applicants from around the world, it is impossible for the host mentor to connect with every applicant until approved

Dear Sir or Madam, Is there any possibility to arrange the date of the course before paying? Best regards.

We will connect you to the host to schedule your traineeship as soon as we receive the payment. You have a flexible schedule to work with the host mentor and pick a suitable time for you and the host.

Good morning dear , I tried to apply again but this message is appeared (already applied for this program) but I did not pay before.

If you have applied before, there is no need to reapply. Please reach support@trialect.com.

May peace and mercy upon you all with reference to envisaged from whom I have to get letter of Intent

You will see several representative samples online to draft a letter of intent. Your letter of intent has to be very precise, describing your capabilities and interests, and at the same time clearly defining your goals.
