Hong An, Interim Director
Gehrke Proteomics Center
The Proteomics Center (PC) provides advanced technologies in protein separation and mass spectrometry identification using a number of instruments. The Center accepts any non-hazardous, non-pathogenic, and non-radioactive samples for analyses. These samples can be whole organism (cell pellets, seedlings, etc.), tissue (biopsies, roots, leaves, etc.), or purified protein (cell lysate, precipitated protein, IPs, gel bands/spots).
2nd Floor Bond LSC
Brian Mooney, Director
Genomics Technology
The Genomics Technology Core provides genomic services. The facility is a resource to educate and train researchers and students in the use of sequencing technologies with a focus on the implementation of emerging technologies to enhance future research capabilities.
