The Proteomics Core at Northwestern offers cutting edge mass spectrometry methods to identify and characterize proteins and their roles in human health and disease. Our award-winning core team of 10 staff partners closely with academic, medical, and industrial researchers to advance biomedical research and translation. The facility offers multiple types of experiments from simple protein identification to protein quantitation (both relative and absolute) using both bottom-up proteomics and intact top-down proteomics analyses that enable detection of post-translational modifications. We specialize in untargeted quantitative peptide proteomics, targeted quantitative peptide proteomics, epiproteomic histone modification panel, and phosphoproteomics. The Proteomics Core leverages the expertise of its parent research center, Northwestern | Proteomics, in technology development and computational analysis to stay at the forefront of proteomics analyses.
