Facility Details

The LC/MS Proteomics Core Facility‘s (PCF) mission is to provide well-maintained, state-of-the-art instrumentation and fundamental proteomics expertise to the Brown University and Rhode Island scientific communities. We aim to be a focal point of intellectual activity in proteomics by enabling nationally recognized proteomics research within Rhode Island. We welcome inquiries from scientists and teachers seeking information regarding how we may assist them in furthering their research and educational goals. The facility‘s function is catalyzed by its Administrative Directors, Faculty advisor, responsible Facility Director, and a knowledgeable advisory committee. Together their research interests are based on the pursuit and implementation of proteomics approaches to biological inquiry.

As an NSF EPSCoR-funded laboratory, the Proteomics Facility has a broadly inclusive philosophy to ensure rapid and equal access to the facility‘s services for the entire Rhode Island research community. In addition to the acquisition of new instrumentation, the Proteomics Core Facility will undertake research in emerging proteomic techniques to maintain a productive and professional level of service. The PCF has a strong commitment to be at the leading edge of current and developing technologies and provides consultative services to users.
