Mass Spectrometry.
Sponsored by the offices of the Senior Vice President for Health Science and the Vice President for Research, the University of Minnesota announces the Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics (MSP) Initiative.   The MSP initiative is a 4-year, $2M program beginning in FY05 that provides expanded opportunities for basic, translational and clinical research in the uses of mass spectrometry and proteomics for biomedical research.    Through a combination of seed grants (via the BioMedical Genomics Center), training workshops, seminars, bioinformatic and technical staff support, investigators will be able to initiate, develop and expand projects utilizing proteomic technology.   Such infrastructure investments allow investigators access and training in technologies critical for successful RO1, PO1, SCORE and Center grant applications.   For information, contact David Bernlohr (bernl001@umn.edu) or Vivek Kapur (vkapur@umn.edu).

Mass Spectrometry Consortium for the Life Sciences

The Mass Spectrometry Consortium for the Life Sciences and Protein Analysis Facility provides support, equipment, and expertise for analyzing complex protein mixtures. Electrospray and Maldi mass spectrometers are capable of determining the molecular weight of intact proteins and can identify proteins using protein fingerprints or peptide sequencing via MS/MS. Additional mass spectrometers provide for the identification of other organic molecules and protein quantification via ICAT.

 

Proteome Analysis Core Facility

The PAF has equipment to help with separation and differential expression between two samples. The facility has capability of traditional 2D SDS-PAGE, DIGE, Proteosep (2D liquid chromatofocusing) and high throughput spot picking, digestion, and ziptipping.
