Research Interests

The Aberdeen Proteome Facility has a broad research remit covering a number of biological applications in proteomics for basic and applied research. In addition to carrying out contract studies we have specific interests in the following research areas:

• The identification and characterisation of disease specific protein markers.

• The identification of biomarkers in human urinary proteins as markers for urinary tract disease.

• The application of proteomics to the determination of microbial and eukaryotic cellular responses to environmental stress.

• The application of proteomics to medical microbiology with interests in antibiotic resistance mechanisms and pathogenic determinants.

• The application of proteomics to the characterisation of post-translational modifications of proteins, including complex patterns of cross-linking of proteins of the matrix.

• Collaboration in the COGEME research programme of the BBSRC.

These are not exclusive and we are interested in applying our expertise to other research fields.
