Advanced Proteomics 2026
15th – 19th June 2026
Overview
“Courses@CRG: Advanced Proteomics” offers a comprehensive update on cutting-edge proteomics techniques and applications. The course targets international researchers that are looking for an extensive update on the most advanced proteomics techniques and applications, including PhD students and post-docs who think proteomics can have an impact on their research projects. The course combines lectures with hands-on sessions to consolidate the concepts introduced during the theoretical sessions and ensure their practical applicability.
Main Goals
At the end of the course participants should be familiar with the following topics:
- Principles of mass spectrometry
- Interpretation of spectra and results
- Methods for sample preparation
- Mass spectrometry experimental design
- Quantitative proteomics
- Targeted proteomics
- Statistical and bioinformatics tools
- Protein-protein interactions
- Data-independent acquisition method
Target audience
The course targets international postdocs and PhD students from the molecular biology or clinician fields whose projects involve deep use of proteomics techniques.

Transport
By plane:
By train:
The city's main station is Estació de Sants. This station is serviced by numerous national and international trains, including high-speed trains.
Barcelona has other train stations:
- Estació de França, near Parc de la Ciutadella
- Plaça de Catalunya, in the city centre.
- Clot-Aragó, near Plaça de les Glòries.
- Arc de Triomf, station has a connection with Barcelona Nord bus station.
- Passeig de Gràcia, at the heart of the Modernista route.
Long-distance journeys are best booked in advance but for shorter journeys, including those in Barcelona on the local Rodalies (Catalan) or Cercanías (Spanish) services, you can buy a ticket before boarding the train.
Barcelona is also served by the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). Although they run short and medium-distance inter-city train services, these are integrated into the city's underground network, the Metro, which means you can use the T-10, a combined ticket for 10 journeys on city buses and the underground as well as the FGC trains.
By bus:
The main bus station is Barcelona Nord, which is very near the center, by the Arc de Triomf, although most buses stop at Sants station. There are national and international services and usually, it is not necessary to book in advance. The bus station is linked to the city’s underground system. Look at the map with the different underground lines and bus routes on the TMB website.
Transport from the Barcelona Airport El Prat
You can get to the city from the airport with the Aerobús with stops in Plaça d’Espanya, Urgell, Plaça de la Universitat and Plaça de Catalunya, or the underground line L9. The airport train station is located 200 meters outside the terminal T2 building and the train goes to the Barcelona Sants Estació.
There is also a standard bus and night bus. Click here for more information.
