International Expert Lecture on “Mass Spectrometry Based Proteomics” Delivered by
Dr. Vaibhav Srivastava at SKUAST-Jammu
Under the Expert Lecture Series initiated by the Faculty of Basic Sciences, SKUAST-Jammu,
an enlightening lecture was delivered by Dr. Vaibhav Srivastava, Group Leader, Division of
Glycoscience, Department of Chemistry, CBH School, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH),
AlbaNova University Centre, Stockholm, Sweden, on the topic “Mass Spectrometry Based
Proteomics.” The event was held under the able guidance of Prof. B. N. Tripathi, Hon’ble
Vice-Chancellor, SKUAST-Jammu.
Dr. Srivastava discussed the principles and applications of mass spectrometry-based
proteomics, covering techniques such as bottom-up and top-down proteomics, electrospray
ionization, and MS data analysis for protein identification and characterization. He elaborated
on longer peptide–complex fragment spectra, post-translational modifications, and the
integration of proteomics with functional genomics to study cellular pathways, disease
mechanisms, and crop improvement. The lecture also highlighted possibilities of international
research collaboration between KTH Sweden and SKUAST-Jammu.
The session was hosted by Prof. Sanjay Guleria, Dean, Faculty of Basic Sciences, and
coordinated by Dr. Vinod Kumar, Associate Professor, Division of Biochemistry. It
witnessed enthusiastic participation from Heads of Divisions, faculty members, researchers,
and students, who actively interacted with the speaker.
