Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Core Facility
As of June 30, 2008 UNMC Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Core Facility (MSPCF) closes its first year of operation. It was a successful year during which MSPCF enjoyed strong UNMC institutional and INBRE financial support. An unprecedented partnership between UNMC administrators and investigators along with support from the UN Board of Regents led to the acquisition of a high-end mass spectrometer: LTQ Orbitrap XL, the first instrument of this type in Nebraska. This instrument will increase analytical capability available to researchers at UNMC. It will also help make UNMC researchers more competitive. The next big step for MSPCF is to build a strong bioinformatics infrastructure in alliance with Holland Supercomputer Center and College of Information Science and Technology at UNO. Thanks to all who supported our efforts during the first year of operations.
Our Mission
Mission of Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Core Facility (MSPCF) at the University of Nebraska Medical Center is to enhance the capacity for research. Our main goals are:
-
to establish an integrated proteomics program to support researchers at the UNMC in their efforts to seek extramural funding,
-
to provide high quality services,
-
to facilitate collaborative scientific effort with other institutions of higher education within State of Nebraska, and
-
to provide state-of-the-art environment for education of researchers in techniques of mass spectrometry and proteomics.
Thank you for your interest in the MSPCF. We appreciate any comments, questions or suggestions.
