Mass Spectrometry

We are using state-of-the-art mass spectrometric methods for identification of proteins and for characterizing post-translational modifications in signal transduction pathways and in the analysis of several different cancers. We are using different techniques that help us quantitate levels of protein as well as post-translational modifications. We are also developing computational methods that allow us to extract annotated information from existing databases including genomic databases while performing searches using mass spectrometry-derived data.
