The Adelaide Proteomics Centreis a joint venture of the University of Adelaide and Hanson Institute, established with support from the Australian Cancer Research Foundation. It offers researchers on campus and elsewhere in Adelaide, a state-of-the-art Proteomics facility. The Proteomics centre has the latest mass spectrometry technology to identify proteins and characterize their post-translational modifications. The centre is equipped to quantify changes in protein expression levels using techniques such as 2-D Fluorescence Difference Gel Electrophoresis and isotopic labelling of complex protein mixtures.
The Adelaide Proteomics Centre provides Proteomcis Australia with a complementary capability in the newly emerging area of Tissue Imaging MALDI Mass Spectrometry.
