It is an opportunity to discuss these methods with those experienced in this field and to develop a peer network for those embarking spatial proteomics programs.
This provides a huge window of opportunity in protistology that is being embraced by many labs. This workshop is aimed at a broad protistology audience to present the ways in which spatial proteomes can be generated and interpreted.

The genomics field has driven much of ‘modern’ protistology's advances in recent years providing a phylogenetic frameworks for understanding protist evolution, and an appreciation of the molecular novelty of this wide snapshot of eukaryotic diversity.
It will provide an opportunity for scientists interested in applying this tool to tailor an approach their protist(s) systems of interest, or those who are simply curious.
But it has presented the challenge of interpreting this molecular diversity and, in particular, vast cellular novelty. Spatial proteomics methods (aka 'LOPIT’) enables thousands of proteins to be simultaneously assigned subcellular locations (organelles, complexes, substructures and symbionts).
