Message from the Director:
The completion of genomic sequences for several model organisms and, most recently, the human genome, has opened many new possibilities for biologists to use genomic sequences to predict all of the proteins that can be present in an organism. Thus proteomics, the study of the protein complement of the genome, has become increasingly important because of its diverse and non-static nature beyond the gene level.
At the University of Arizona, exceptional infrastructure and collegiality have come together to build proteomics on campus. Under the sponsorship of the Arizona Cancer Center, BIO5, the UA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Southwest Environmental Health Science Center, the Arizona Proteomics Consortium provides analytical services, technology development, and hands-on training. We thank all our contributing units and are very excited about the future of proteomics at the University of Arizona. With over 6000 campus-wide analyses performed yearly, we are confident in our personnel and in our resources. On behalf of myself and Dr. Linda Breci, Associate Director, I welcome you to our new website and we all look forward to integrating our proteomic capabilities into your various research programs.
Please feel free to contact us any time with questions, suggestions or input.
