This course covers the fundamental concepts and applications of protein characterization techniques ("proteomics") as well as how individual and community-wide metabolism are studied ("metabolomics"). Cutting-edge proteomics and metabolomics methods will be applied to real-world datasets and problems to characterize biological systems and explain phenotypes. This course will help prepare students for future work on using, characterizing, and designing novel protein and metabolism-based tools applicable to research and industrial applications. Students taking this course will gain skills for future work designing experiments, analyzing, and integrating data on the proteomes and metabolomes of various biological systems
