✦ Synopsis

Started in June 2007, the facility is using Thermo Scientific's LTQ Orbitrap XL, a protein identification and biomarker discovery platform, along with an LTQ linear ion trap coupled with electron transfer dissociation (ETD) capability for advanced proteomic research in cardiovascular medicine. The James Black Centre is a world-renowned research facility with a range of core competencies including genomics, proteomics, multiphoton confocal microscopy, and MRI. According to Dr. Mayr, the primary focus at the Vascular Proteomics Group will be on the ability of stem cells to effect cardiovascular repair.
