Proteomics

Biomolecular mass spectrometry facility in Bad Nauheim provides service in state-of-the-art liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry for all members of the DZHK. Cardiovascular diseases are multicausal and result from altered cellular processes. Therefore, changes within the proteome or incorrect signaling pathways need to be characterized to understand the molecular mechanisms of heart failure. Our facility enables proteomic approaches to identify and quantify protein expression, post-translational modifications and protein-protein interactions. Furthermore, we aim for establishing new methods to optimize proteomics for cardiovascular research.
