Bioimaging and Chemical Analysis Facilities Core

Contact: Core Managers: Dr. Bogdan Fedeles and Dr. Michael DeMott

The Bioimaging and Chemical Analysis Facilities Core provides Center members with state-of-the-art tools and techniques for the characterization and quantification of chemical substances and modifications of cellular compounds ranging from small molecules, e.g., single metal ions, metabolites and reaction products, to nucleic acid oligomers and intact proteins. The Core resources also include a suite of data-handling software for qualitative and quantitative analyses. As a resource for CEHS members, the Core allows researchers to use the facilities at two levels: fully trained users, and supervised analyses.

MAJOR INSTRUMENTS

DATA ANALYSIS

  • Bioinformatics (Database searching, pathway analysis)
  • Quantitation (Spectral counting, iTRAQ, multiple reaction monitoring)
  • Custom software (Deconvolution, unique protein/peptide modifications)
  • Statistics (Regression analysis, principal component analysis, clustering)
