various areas of focus of the bioanalytics shared resource

Bioanalytics and Proteomics Shared Resource

Overview

The Bioanalytics and Proteomics Shared Resource provides Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators with advanced mass spectrometry technologies and scientific expertise for the analysis of proteins, metabolites, drugs, and other biomolecules. The resource integrates capabilities in proteomics, metabolomics, molecular profiling, tissue imaging, and drug analysis, allowing researchers to examine biological systems at multiple levels of molecular detail. Staff work closely with investigators on experimental planning, sample preparation, data acquisition, and interpretation to ensure studies are performed using appropriate and rigorous analytical approaches. By bringing together specialized instrumentation and expertise within a single resource, the Bioanalytics and Proteomics Shared Resource supports comprehensive molecular characterization for cancer research.
