BCHM 482 Proteomics and Metabolomics Units: 3.00
This course will focus on the principles of proteomics and metabolomics and their application in the new systems biology `omics approach to scientific discovery. This course will emphasize both the methodologies used in proteomics and metabolomics, as well as their applications in both research, medical diagnostics, and disease management.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe what proteomics and metabolomics are, including how they differ from other emerging ‘omics fields, to identify the significance they carry in scientific research. (PLO 8; Assessment 1–5)
- Understand the basis of proteomic and metabolomic techniques and their limitations to be able to create scientific arguments as to whether or not they can be applied to a specific problem. (PLO 8; Assessment 1, 3–4)
- Identify the types of information that proteomic and metabolomic techniques provide, and how these techniques can become more powerful when combined with complementary methods. (PLO 8; Assessment 1, 3–5)
- Develop an appreciation of how online databases can be used as tools in the comprehensive analysis of the results gained from metabolomic and proteomic methods discussed. (PLO 8; Assessment 1, 3)
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of how the proteomic and metabolomic methods can be used in both the study and diagnosis of disease states in order to apply them to their own research endeavors. (PLO 8; Assessment 1, 3–5)
