Training Schools
INDEPTH will organize six training schools that will be organised during the course of the grant. These allow up to 20 early career researchers to spend 5 days at a partner lab learning skills that will aid their research.
Training School 1: Cytogenetics
- Université Clermont Auvergne, France: October 15th-19th 2018.
Training program will focus on DNA and RNA FISH (root tips, whole mount, acrylamide embedded protocol).
Photos and brief report from Training School 1 is on the INDEPTH news page.

Training School 2: From Pictures 2 Numbers
Training School 3: Plant Nuclear Proteomics
- Training School on Plant Nuclear Proteomics took place in Olomouc, Czech Republic between July 8th-12th 2019. The program will include the following topics covered by lectures and laboratory experiments: 1) Plant sample preparation and flow cytometry of cell nuclei 2) Digestion of the nuclei by a nuclease 3) Protein recovery and proteolytic digestion 4) Peptide desalting
5) Reversed-phase liquid chromatography of peptides 6) Tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS and MALDI-MS/MS) 7) MS/MS data processing & bioinformatics.
