The RNA Epitranscriptomics and Proteomics Resource (REPR), built upon the existing Proteomics core facility as well as the RNA Institute Mass Spectrometry Center, is a joint venture between the VPR office and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. This specialized laboratory maintains a comprehensive state-of-the-art mass spectrometry research facility to support a wide range of internal and external research projects. The REPR is dedicated to providing high quality mass spectrometry services in a time and cost-effective manner. We are a full-service provider of both small and large molecule laboratory, training and consulting services with value-added solutions. In addition to supporting the university research enterprise, the REPR also serves the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, universities, and government labs.

RNA Epitranscriptomics
The RNA epitranscriptomics services include a comprehensive range of custom services such as RNA purification, RNA characterization, and RNA chemical modification analysis using quantitative mass spectrometry.

Proteomics/Mass Spec
The proteomics/mass spectrometry services include comprehensive targeted and un-targeted metabolomics and proteomics, high resolution mass measurement for both large and small molecules, PK/PD study, bio-similar characterization, ADC characterization, and large-scale characterization of proteins and metabolites expressed in health and disease.
