Core Summary

The Proteomics Resource Facility (PRF) is exclusively dedicated for protein analysis and has over a decade of extensive experience in applying mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches to varied biological questions. The main goal of the PRF is to assist researchers in designing bottom-up proteomic experiments, maintain state-of-the-art instrumentation, provide technical expertise and bioinformatics support during both discovery and validation phases of proteomic experiments.

PRF is directed by Dr. Alexey Nesvizhskii, who is a world leading expert in the area of mass spectrometry bioinformatics and large-scale proteomics. Technical expertise in mass spectrometry is provided by dedicated a full-time research faculty, namely, Dr. Venkatesha Basrur and a senior technical assistant, Mr. Kevin Conlon, both of whom have extensive experience in biological mass spectrometry.
