UTMB NHLBI Proteomics CenterServing as the home for one of seven newly awarded national Proteomics Centers funded by the NHLBI, theBiomolecular Resource Facilityat UTMB brings the power of multiple analytical technologies to proteomics research.The UTMB NHLBI Center for Airway Inflammationconsists of a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and physician-scientists to study protein expression associated with signaling pathways important in airway inflammation. In addition, the Center is engaged in the development of innovative technologies for application to proteomics research. It is the result of an NHLBI initiative to establish centers to enhance and develop innovative
proteomics technologies and apply them to biological questions
relevant to heart, lung, blood, and sleep health
and disease.
New mass spectrometers The BRF (overview) has recently acquired a new nano-LC ThermoFinnigan LTQ OrbiTrap Velos mass spectrometer that will significantly enhance our proteomics capabilities. Along with the AB 4700 Proteomics System (MALDI TOF-TOF), 4000 Q-Trap linear ion-trap with nano LC, and the AB 4800 MALDI TOF-TOF, we now have a suite of high powered, state-of-the-art mass spectrometers to address virtually any proteomics challenge.
