Mass spectrometry

Project

Structural Elucidation

Mass Spectrometry (MS) is an extremely sensitive analytical tool that provides accurate mass-related data for molecules ranging from small metabolites to protein complexes.

Project

Subcellular Imaging

Next generation MS instrumentation will enable rapid molecular mapping of cells in tissue enabling elucidation of the chemistry behind biological mechanisms.

Project

Biochemical Microscopy for imaging across Molecular Scales

Developing a transformative cryogenic 3D biochemical microscope, harnessing the power of high-resolution electron microscopy and mass spectrometry imaging

Project

3D Protein Atlas of Brain

Native ambient mass spectrometry (NAMS) is an emerging technology which offers unprecedented potential for integration of spatial and structural biology – it promises major advances in molecular pathology and drug discovery.

Platform

Mechanistic Proteomics

Proteins are the workhorses of living cells. Proteins operate in a highly dynamic environment interacting with other proteins and other types of molecules including sugars, lipids and nucleic acids.

Platform

High Resolution imaging with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is a highly sensitive analytical technique offering detailed chemical composition analysis in 3D space with subcellular resolution.

Platform

Trapped ion mobility (TIMS) time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometry

A cutting-edge commercial Bruker mass spectrometry (MS) instrument, coupling high sensitivity, high resolution, rapid time of flight (TOF) mass analysis to high resolution trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) enabling structural elucidation.

Platform

Native ambient mass spectrometry

Native ambient mass spectrometry (NAMS) combines spatial and structural biology by enabling untargeted label-free interrogation of proteins in their functional form directly from their physiological environment.
