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.
Powerful suite of mass spectrometersTheBRF has four mass spectrometers that significantly enhance our proteomics capabilities. Along with the AB Sciex 4800 and the new 5800 Proteomics Systems (MALDI TOF-TOF), the 4000 Q-Trap linear ion-trap with nano LC, and the ThermoFisher LTQ OrbiTrap Velos with nanoLC, we now have a suite of high powered, state-of-the-art mass spectrometers to address virtually any proteomics challenge.
