TUTORIAL: "Analyzing Peptides and Proteins with Mass Spectrometry and Database Searching" by Jimmy Eng, Institute for Systems Biology  jeng@systemsbiology.org Jimmy earned his MSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington in 1993. He was hired by John Yates, III in 1993 at the UW’s Department of Molecular Biotechnology to write a software program for sequencing via tandem mass spectrometry database searching, which became SEQUEST.  He joined the Institute for Systems Biology in 2000 where his focus has been on writing software for high throughput, quantitative mass spectrometry data analysis.
"Advanced Mass Spectrometric Approaches for Rapid and Quantitative Proteomics"  by 
Ljiljana Pasa-Tolic, Senior Research Scientist, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
ljiljana.pasatolic@pnl.gov,
Dr. Ljiljana Pasa-Tolic received her BSc, MSc, and PhD from the University of Zagreb, Croatia in 1986,  1989, and 1992 respectivly. She was a research assistant at the  Rudjer Boskovic Institute from 1992-1993; a visiting associate at Florida State University, with Alan G. Marshall between 1993-1995. She took up a postdoctoral fellowship at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with Richard D. Smith in 1995 before joining as a senior research scientist two years later. Her research interests include: development and application of advanced analytical methods and instrumentation and their biological applications, fundamentals and applications of mass spectrometry, the development and application of new methods for probing the entire array of proteins expressed by a cell or organism, i.e., its "proteome."
“Implementation and Uses of Automated de novo Peptide Sequencing by Tandem Mass Spectrometry”   by 
Richard S. Johnson, Senior Staff Scientist, Immunex Corporation, JohnsonR@immunex.com

Richard Johnson received his BSc in Chemistry, summa cum laude, at Iowa State University in 1983, and his doctorate in Organic Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988. Postdoctoral studies in structural characterization of glycoconjugates were completed at Harvard School of Public Health in 1989, with further postdoctoral studies in protein chemistry at the University of Washington from 1990 to 1993.  He subsequently became Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Washington until 1995 when he joined the Department of Protein Chemistry at Immunex.
