Proteomics Core
The mission of Proteomics Core Facility is to help researchers advance their biomedical research programs in Louisiana State University and the Louisiana Cancer and Gene Therapy Consortia. The Proteomics Core Facility is equipped with gel electrophoresis units, image analyzers and digitizers, and robotics for mass spectrometry sample preparation. Currently, a Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometer instrument implements protein identification. The various applications include the studies of protein expression profile, posttranslational modifications, and partial sequencing of novel proteins.
