Mission & Vision
About the Facility
Established in 2005 within the UC Davis Genome Center, the Proteomics Core has spent nearly two decades providing state-of-the-art liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) services. We support investigators both on and off campus with a highly trained staff of five scientists, housing three mass spectrometers and three amino acid analyzers.
We provide a broad range of services including protein identification, quantification, post-translational modification (PTM) discovery, and targeted proteomics. Uniquely, we are one of the few core facilities in the world to offer Amino Acid Analysis and Edman Sequencing.
Our Threefold Mission
We exist to serve the scientific community through three core pillars:
Service
To provide cutting-edge, affordable proteomic and protein characterization services with a rapid turnaround time, ensuring your research moves forward without delay.
Innovation
To develop and implement novel proteomics methods. We work collaboratively with scientists to customize these methods for unique, complex scientific projects.
Education
To teach proteomics methods to the community. We empower laboratories through regular classes and our hands-on Summer Proteomics Short Course.
Data Analysis & Support
From Raw Data to Insight
We don't just hand you a file; we help you understand it. We provide various levels of data analysis based on your needs, using both commercial software packages and custom scripts.
We also work closely with the Bioinformatics Core to add further value to the data we generate.
