News - Publications - Education - Personnel
The proteomics platform at Umeå University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Science in Umeå provides infrastructure, scientific services and education for research in protein science and proteomics. The major financial contributors to the platform are:
- The Chemical and Biological Centre (KBC)
- The Laboratory for Molecular Infections Medicine (MIMS) and Umeå
Centre for Microbial Research (UCMR)
- The Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC)
- The Department of Chemistry at Umeå University
- The Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SUAS)
- The Kempe Foundation
- The Berzelius Centre for Forest Biotechnoloy
The work of
the proteomics facility has from the beginning had a broad perspective that
included the entire range of research in life science at Umeå University,
the University hospital, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Science. As a result of a work that combines
education, collaborations, and services relevant advances in the development
of research using proteomics and mass spectrometry based protein science
were achieved.
The proteomic platform is participating in the KBC and UCMR research school
and regularly offering courses for PhD students and postgraduates. For a general overview of the work of this facility please
have a look into the
activity
reports and the
publication list.
The instrumental and bioinformatics infrastructure of the platform includes a complete proteomics work flow is available
covering 2-D DIGE automated spot picking and protein analysis using MALDI-MS
and ESI-LC-MS. The bioinformatics infrastructure includes resources for
on-line booking of instruments, data transfer and a local Mascot and Phenyx
server that provides access to many important sequence databases. A brief
presentation of the services and resources of the proteomics platform is
available in the sections
Mass spectrometry,
2-D DIGE & Imaging and
Bioinformatics.
