In the last decade, proteomics laboratories have been at the forefront of cutting edge biological research. Researchers have realized the importance of proteins and the roles that these biomolecules play as disease markers, drug targets, and therapeutic agents. Mass spectrometry core laboratories have democratized the field of proteomics by providing broad access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, enabling students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty researchers to study protein pathways, characterize post-translational modifications, and profile protein expressions.
This webcast will feature two leading proteomics scientists—one at a university and one at a private sector proteomics facility—discussing the challenges that a core lab faces. They will provide insights on how to address these challenges, best practices for instrument performance, and tips for running successful core labs.
