Within the life sciences progress depends on the integration of chemistry, physics, mathematics, informatics and biology to answer ever more complex research questions at the systems level. The Mass Spectrometry of Biomolecules group combines mass spectrometry with biomolecular and organic chemistry to support and advance research themes that are carried out in close collaboration with other groups within the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences.
As a research group our focus is in developing new sample preparation and mass spectrometry applications to expand the tool-kit of applying mass spectrometry based proteomics and metabolomics for life scientists. We make these novel approaches available to scientist through our role as mass spectrometry core facility, ensuring state of the art applications quickly find their way into the field. Currently our main focus is on:
